Here's our problem.We have a single feed of data which needs to be processed by different applications. These are old systems developed by product type. Our users are inputting their transactions into a Vendor package which allows them to combine inventory and perform stats across different product types. To avoid double keying we take a feed from the vendor. Our present config looks like this..... Vendor -----------------------> app control 1 ------------------> App1 !--------------------------> app control 2--------------------> App2 !--------------------------> app control 3 -------------------> App3 Each App has it's own lib structure which is journaled to its on *jrn. Appjrn1 , Appjrn2, Appjrn3 We are now looking to receive data from the same vendor for apps4 and 5 and 6. What I would like is to have a single App control which can call programs which write to the separate data bases. and have a single "COMMIT" in the controler *pgm. This commit would commit any pending changes for the job plus commit the control record as being processed (flag set or date/time) Vendor ----------------> App controller -----------------------> App1 !--------------------------------> App2 !--------------------------------> App3 !--------------------------------> App4 !--------------------------------> App5 Can this be accomplished. Possibly by using separate *actgrp's Regards Alex Gorelik and Zvi Yammer
