Tony -
It just occurred to me that cron is running uv as root and that when
root starts uv, the LOGIN proc does not run except in the uv account.
Try changing the user in cron to a normal uv user and I bet your
problem will go away.

Jacques - that's great info but the situation is more involved.
Thanks anyway.
Ross - I'm fairly confident this is one of those issues that
never comes up in QA, only in the field. The cron line executes
a script, the script executes:
uv "PNAME" > /outfile
That's a Paragraph that looks like this:
001 PA
002 COMO ON FOO
003 RUN BP PROG
004 COMO OFF
So it's a prog wrapped in COMO, in a paragraph, with stdout
redirected, executed from uv, within a script, called from cron.
(Sometimes I'm amazed any of this works.)
I've asked the client to remove COMO for now, then if the problem
persists to avoid redirection from the uv command. When the
exact behaviour is determined, I've recommended that an issue
report be filed with IBM through the client's DBMS provider.
I've already suggested that if required, we can redirect the
"PROG" OS queries back into OS files and then read from there,
rather than attempting to Capture the output directly. However,
the code doing this is our product activation subroutine
(documented in my blog, search for "activate key protect"). For
many reasons that code should not be writing anything to the host
OS.
I'll post a follow-up when we get something solid.
Thanks again!
