Spawned Concurrent Program

Question

Hi,
Can somebody help me on how to revise a standard concurrent program with a Spawned executable method?
I just need to add the TIN, company name, and address in the header level of the the following standard concurrent programs.
1. Program Name: Receipt Register
Short Name: ARRXRCRG
Executable Name: FARXPBSH
2. Program Name: Publish Journals - Voucher
Short Name: GLRXVCJ
Executable Name: FARXPBSH
3. Program Name: Transaction Register
Short Name: ARRXINVR
Executable Name: FARXPBSH
Although, I've read in some threads that a SPAWNED concurrent program is typically a C or ProC program and that it's usually not readable. It was also mentioned that the best way to deal with it is to just read the output from the spawned program and create a new program to be able to apply additional requirements.
The thing is I would like to avoid the idea of creating a new program since I just plan to add the company name, address, and TIN in the header level.
I hope you can help me on this.
Thanks a lot,

User102,
If you modify any standard E-Business code then when you apply a patch that contains a new version of the standard code then your customisation is likely to be overwritten by code in the patch .
I can't see any easy answer to your question as Oracle don't supply the source code to spawend programs so you don't have the code to modify .
One convoluted possibility is to write a host prorgam (shellscript) to which you pass the parameters you want and then call the standard program via the shellscript to create the output as normal then use the shellscript to add the extra information you want to the output file.
