Thanks Kevin and everyone else for your help! Kevin you were correct about it not storing the information after it prints. I asked Mapics as well. Thought I would share their response. Think I will capture this temp. member. Thanks again! "Cost information from simulated cost runs is stored in an additional member which is added to ITEMASB during the simulation cost rollup. This member is then used for printing the cost simulation reports. It has a name that is the same as the job name of the cost rollup batch job. When the cost rollup process (including the report) is complete, the new member is removed from ITEMASB, therefore it is not available for use in queries or user reports. MAPICS does not store the simulation data after the run has completed. Note: If there are any members in ITEMASB other than ITEMASB then they are probably there when a simulated cost failed. These extra members in ITEMASB should be removed (using AS/400 command RMVM) since they can cause problems later on when doing an upgrade."
