Using SQR3 for batch processing -Reply

[Richard Watts <rwatts@MDC.COM>]

Marcel,

I don't know how familiar, if at all, you are with PeopleSoft
Financials, but the entire Asset Management server product
is written in SQR, and quite a few pieces of their GL and
Project Costing modules are written in SQR.  To that end we
have written maintenance processes, tree loader processes,
and entire source system interface/edit modules for
PeopleSoft Financials in SQR.

Because of the power and ease of use of SQR3, we are
contemplating using it for purposes other than reportwriting.

Is anyone else currently using SQR3 in the UNIX environment
for other tasks
(e.g. batch jobs)?  These tasks could include database
housekeeping and interfacing to outside systems (e.g. file
transfers, etc.)

If you are using SQR3 in this manner, I would like to know
how issues like error logging, security, etc. are handled.

Thank you
Marcel Groenewald
