script run from cron

I am using filepro 4.8 on Redhat linux 7.1.  I want to run a script 
scheduled on a cron job that runs 2 reports that export .dat file. 
Problem is, filepro needs a terminal to run.  When I run the job with 
cron I get

*** A filePro Error Has Occurred ***

Entry: cl

Required terminal feature not available.
Alert your system administrator.


Is there a way to run the script without using a terminal with filepro. 
  Or could I modify my script somehow to support a terminal.

My script is below.  Just 2 lines executing the report.

#/bin/bash
/appl/fp/dreport vlprocess -f spindata -N -S schedule
/appl/fp/dreport vljobcard -f spindata -N -S schedule

Thanks,
	Greg
