Automatic Order Release Request - Purpose
OP340E
The Automatic Order Release Request program (OP340E) displays and validates a screen allowing you to request the automatic release of all orders, backorders, credit held orders, or blanket orders. Selection criteria (such as order type, order status, and customer class) can be entered to limit which orders are released. If all orders are selected, you can request that the Outstanding Order reports be printed.
Valid requests that you enter are written to the Automatic Order Release file (OP340AP1). When the automatic order release job is submitted from the Order Processing Menu, this file is read by the Automatic Order Release control language program (OP630C), which then selects orders to be processed using an Open Query file (OPNQRYF) command and the selection criteria you entered. Once selection is complete, the Automatic Order Release program (OP630E) is called. After OP630E is run, the reports are printed by the Outstanding Order Report program (OP650E).
