    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/
