Updating the QJDF Data Area

From Advanced & Technical Operations (G9), choose Security Officer

QJDF is a data area within the JDFOBJ library. It controls system features of the J.D.

Edwards software. A menuld Explanation

User ID The IBM-defined user profile.

Company A code that identifies a specific organization, fund, entity, and

so on. This code must already exist in the Company Constants

table (F0010). It must identify a reporting entity that has a

complete balance sheet. At this level, you can have

intercompany transactions.

NOTE: You can use company 00000 for default values, such as

dates and automatic accounting instructions (AAIs). You

cannot use it for transaction entries.

Language A user defined code (system 01/type LP) that specifies a

language to use in forms and printed reports. If you leave the

Language field blank, the system uses the language you specify

in your user profile. If you do not specify a language in your

user profile, the system uses the default language for the

system.

Before any translations can appear, a language code must exist

at either the system level or in your user profile.

Version Prefix Identifies a default prefix to assign when creating DREAM

Writer versions. Versions can then be suffixed with a number

between 0001 and 9999.

Date Format This is the format of a date as stored in the database.

Field Explanation

Date Separator Character The character entered in this field will be used to separate the

month, day, and year of a given date.

NOTE:

If an asterisk is entered (*), a blank will be used for

the date separator.

If left blank, the system value will be used for the date

separator.

Decimal Format Character The character entered in this field will be used to signify the

fractions from whole numbers – the positions to the left of the

decimal.

If left blank, the system value will be used as the default.

Currency Symbol The character entered in this field will be used to signify the

currency symbol that will be attached to certain numeric

values.

*** This field will be implemented later ***

4. Press Enter to create your J.D. Edwards user profile. The program creates the

user’s job description.

If the user who is entering the profiles does not have authority for the

CRTJOBD,CHGJOBD or DLTJOBD commands, you are given a

warning. However, the program adds the record to the User Information

(F0092) file, but does not create a job description for this user.

The program also creates the Inquiry Message Reply parameter for the

user’s job description to *SYSRPYL, to instruct the system to use the

reply list entries.

When using the J.D. Edwards training environment, you do not have the

authority to create job descriptions, yet you do have the authority to add a

record to the User Information (F0092) file.

User Information on menu G94 also displays User Information. This form

contains the same information, and also includes a library list. Don’t use

if using J98INITA.

Setting Up Your Initial Program (J98INITA)

The J98INITA program is your access to the J.D. Edwards software. Your users receive

a multiple environment list where they have a choice of which library list they want to

set for the J.D. Edwards software.

When using J98INITA, the multiple environment program, it lets you:

????&???3 ? ??&???? ???? ???? ??? ?3?? ?????3 ???????? ????? ?? ??

?????? ???????? ???????????? ?3??? ??? ???? ??????? 3?? ? ?3???? ??

???????? ????????????

???????? ?????? ????? ???? ???????? ????????????

For example: You can create a custom master menu, call J.D. Edwards

software from that menu, as well as call your company software and other

purchased software, and then exit J.D. Edwards software and return to your

custom master menu without redefining your environment.

The Library List Selection form shows a sample selection of environments:

The Library List Selection form displays immediately after signon or when the user

takes hidden selection 30 from any J.D. Edwards menu.

To set up the J98INITA program

The following steps show you how to set up the J98INITA program for a user.

1. Confirm that specific files are in the same library.

If you established a Security Library when creating your environments, this step

should already be complete. If not, verify that F0092, F00921, F0093, F0094,

and all associated logicals are in the same library.

2. To set up the proper library list, choose Library List Revisions from Library List

Control (G944).

3. Add each library list and establish the proper order of libraries for each library

list. Ensure that QTEMP comes before QGPL in your library list.

4. After you make the appropriate entries, press Enter. Press F3 to exit the program.

Field Explanation

Library List Name The name associated with a specific list of libraries. The
J98INITA initial program uses the library list names to control

environments that a user can sign on to. These configurations

of library lists are maintained in the Library List Master table

(F0094).

Description A user defined name or remark that describes a field.
