Re: SQR to kick off a Process Scheduler job

["Kearns, Gary" <KearnsG@HSN.NET>]

Another option that we are using at Home Shopping...

Invoke a cron job to scan for the JE file ftp'd from the mainframe.
After it finds it, we execute a multiple step process including a load
SQR, MF match, journal generation, edit, post and summary ledger
processes all through a UNIX script.  All the processes use prcs_bat or
prcs_sqr and run controls as if it were running on Process Scheduler.

If you want more details, let me know...
