I have several questions about this whole thing. I will try to explain: I set up a token called send_mail in a category called SCRIPTS. We see 2 catagories one of which is SCRIPTS. (How do we get more catagories to be displayed if there are any?) The token points to a unix script to send a simple e-mail to me when executed "/vg01lvol1/lsf/scripts/mailtest.sh". I can save it and everything is fine with the token. I then go to jobdef. I use jobname MAILJOB. I tab down to form ID and hit F4. Then F4 to choose Type: User. Then down to Data Area/ID: SCRIPTS. I can then see my token called send_mail. I highlight it and hit enter. I now have a step with a form ID of send_mail. However, when choosing a DataArea/DataID I hit f4 to select from a list. Should I see SCRIPTS as a Data Area? I see 9 other data areas. when I choose any of them I get "Title Not Found" in the Step Description and "Form ID/Data Area/ID Combination has not been defined" at bottom. If I try to leave the Data Area blank I get the message "Security Violation" at the bottom. Should I be seeing SCRIPTS in the list of data areas or not? I'm thinking it a security issue someplace but I'm not the security guy and he doesn't know either. We are all new at this with minimal training. Does anyone have any ideas? Any ideas would be nice!!

I would suggest downloading some manuals from Lawson to help you setting up jobs and tokens and very basic understanding about environments, product lines etc. I think you should ask your company about training.
