A blind DREAM Writer version is a menu selection that submits a specific report or version with no user input. Processing Options can appear for user input on a blind DREAM Writer version.
Option Key specifies the Form ID to call
Version specifies which version you call
For blind DREAM Writer Submissions:
The Batch field must be 1.
The Option Code field must be 2.
You must have an active version in the Version field.
On the Additional Parameters screen, the Mandatory Processing Option field must be N.
For example, the program ID for A/P to G/L Offset links directly to the Processing Options for user input and bypasses the Versions List screen, as it is a blind DREAM Writer.

You can determine what DREAM Writer Processing Options (F18) displays with each DREAM Writer job and what occurs when a selection is entered. On menus, set selections to display their processing options using DREAM Writer Processing Options (F18).
In addition to specifying the Form ID in the Option Key field, use the Option Cntrl and Version fields to set up a selection as a DREAM Writer interactive job. Option Control 1 requires that you specify a version and Option control 2 does not require that you specify a version. The following shows the two ways of defining an interactive job:
Option Cntrl | Result of Selection | Result of F18 |
---|---|---|
1 | Execute job | Options |
2 | Execute job | DW List |
In addition to specifying the Form ID in the Option Key field, use the Option Cntrl, Batch, and Version fields on the Revisions screen to set up a selection as a DREAM Writer batch job.
These three fields work together with the Mandatory Processing Option field on the Additional Parameters (983011) screen of DREAM Writer to define the job.
Mandatory Option | Batch | Option Cntrl | Version | Result of Selection | Result of F18 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 2 | Version # | Processing options then submit | DW List |
0 | 1 | 2 | Version # | Submit | DW List |
1 | 1 | 1 | Version # | Processing options then submit | Processing options |
0 | 1 | 1 | Version # | Submit | Processing options |
1 | 0 | 2 | blank | DW List | DW List |
0 | 0 | 2 | blank | DW List | DW List |
