A quick solution which comes to my mind: - If you have developed a pre-report parameter form, add DESUSERID (for userid/password) to the parameter list or CMDFILE or whatever ... - If not, you may wanna create a small form to prmpt the user for the userid and password.
- In the trigger which calls RUN_PRODUCT, verify these values have been entered.
- Pass them to reports along other input parameters. Of course, as I mentioned I've not put much thought to it and there could be better solutions. Hope it helps.
