My SN gets data from several infosets. But, if there is an error, the SN still processes. Whatever infosets have data will be displayed. I would like to stop generation if there are any errors whatsoever. Thanks for your help. Bill

Depending on your preference you could use any object oriented language and probably most scripting languages. First run all the Update urls one by one checking the status. Checking the status will be the most difficult part. You may have to query the SN repository for this. Then, if all updates are successful, run the process urls. What Im not sure of is, which InfoSet deteremines whether the note is burst or not, so it will take some trial and error. hth, matt

This is the only way that seems to have a chance to work. Maybe some future release... I appreciate the input. Bill

That way if it fails on Update it cant be processed (i think). matt

That pretty well sums it up. I will give the combined infoset idea try and let you know what happens. I also posted a similar message on the Lawson Community site, and got a response that suggested using Trivoli Workload Scheduler. I haven't had a chance to look at that yet, but it sounds like you can do something similar to what you suggested in your first post. Thanks. Bill

Basically, I have conditional formatting in the grid of the SN. There are red backgrounds on the negative values. But, when you print the SN, no conditional formatting appears. Just a white background. If you have any colored backgrounds, they will print white only. This feature is only present in the grid. The chart works ok. This issue is nothing critical, but I know I will have many users asking me why the conditional formatting didn't print. We are not currently live, just testing some of the features of LBI. I believe we will use the print option quite a bit. Bill

A notepad with html code will come up. Search for the value in one of the cells that has a color. It will look something like this: <td class="dataRightBad" bgcolor="white" >35.20</td> or <td class="notificationContentRight" bgcolor="white" >6,556.00</td> or <td class="notificationContentLeft" bgcolor="white" >700000</td> where 35.20, 6,556.00 or 700000 are the values of the cell. what value is in the bgcolor property?

I guess I needed more caffeine... I don't believe I can view source on a SC. Sorry for leading you down the wrong path... Bill
