The caveat is this allows them to run importdb on ANY table in Lawson and that's where i draw the line. They have the Add-ins but don't want to wait 3 hours to load a 20,000 line entry...can't blame them. I could create a script that calls importdb with syntax built in that has only the GLTRANSREL table as an option, but i wanted to see if there were any other possible workarounds before I spend a few hours coding a script.
