Hello group. I seek help on what I believe is a simple problem.

We have a system wherein the user enters on a screen the parameters of how
they want reports from a job to be handled. Printer name, copies, priority.
Within this job, besides the reports that the user has entered parameters
for, is a file equation for forms files - checks. Some reports must be
printed before the checks are printed. Other reports must come after the
program that prints the checks.

What I'd like to do is to save the file equation with the parameters the
user entered, and then re-use that file equation after the checks are
printed. Like this:

1. Enter printer name, etc for reports
2. Submit job, which does:
   a. file report;dev=<parameters from 1 above>
   b. run program A
   c. file print=checks;dev=lp;forms=mount checks
   d. run program B to print checks
   e. file report;dev=<parameters from 1 above>
   f. run program C to create report to print on printer entered in 1

I hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help.

Jay
