Hi,
first off I must say I'm sorry since this probably is not helpful at all, but..

is your problem to create that particular "Process Control" -view in Manager?
Check menu "D-Cube" in Manager. There's "Open" to open a whole new D-Cube where you can select items to display. "View" let's you edit the order of dimensions (D-Lists) for an open D-Cube, you just need to click and activate that cube first, in your case first click on "Process Control" -view. With "Reselect" you can change the selection of items to display.

The "table" you mention I think is the opened view of the D-Cube, as explained above. You can find plenty of settings for this "table" in menu "Table" next to menu "D-Cube"..   :O  First you must click on the Process Control -view to activate it..

OR

is your problem how to get the date data updated in the Process Control cube? Is it automatically updated when the macros run, or is it manual?
If automatic, I would also be interested to hear how this works..! I'm not aware of any Analyst macros which would produce such log information to a D-Cube and I do have some ideas how to do it if need arise, but it would be nice to hear what's the process in your case.
In Analyst check via Library functions (File-Library..) which items the cube Process Control is used by to give you an idea how the dates get there.
