Hey!
This begs the question why are they in the init()?
In the service methods, the first time they are called by
someone (i.e. a living breathing person) one can input the
UID & PW.
If this is not acceptable, then do these COBAL programs have command
line parameter capability? Then just do:
cobalProgram user 'username' using 'userpassword'.
I'm just shooting from the hip.
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
