I was wondering if anyone knew what lawson used the following fields for in the GEN Database?

Program Table

    Type
    IsUpdate
    NSCRS
    IsProduction
    NoMultRuns
    Iscalled

Executable Table

    Type
    RunType
    IsBatch
    MenuType
    NoTokenXfer

I am trying to write a query that will show the screens and wondered if these fields had anything applicable that I could add to this query.  I already know that NoTokenXfer seems to indicate if the screen is accessable directly from Lawson.


Thanks.

Just looking at the data in our table, it appears that the PROGRAM table is referenced from pgmdef in LID.

I can only make suppositions about some of the fields mentioned, but some of them are "fairly" obvious.

See attached screen shot of CU00.

Some help on the EXECUTABLE table perhaps?

Not sure if that helps.  I was hoping for some documentation on this, but it would seem that there is little to be found.

If John is agreeable, I can upload a SchemaSpy section that I generated last year for GEN.
If that would help more? Similar to https://www.lawsonguru.co...ntent/datadict/MSCM/
