In Baan IV we frequently use the ksh command from the Run Program option on a standard Baan IV menu to gain access to the UNIX level. To do this we are required to check the "Run External Program" selection before executing the ksh command.

In Baan IV the ability to use the "Run External Program" option is setup in the user profile.

We are now implementing Baan V. I've searched the user settings and can't find a similar switch to set. When I do a Run Program, the "Run External Program" option is greyed out - and thus unavailable.

Does anyone know where I can find that switch in Baan V?

In:
user mgmt / authorization mgmt system/ definition of templates/ miscellaneous / User Data Template session

you have to set the Shell Command Type and Shell Command.

i.e. no specific option to enable 'run external program'
