    I can create activity list on MX10.2 using object type ACGRP in production. We are on MSP5. In our test environment, we are on MSP6 and when I create list and use conditions, it odes not show up anything on AC14. Any idea? Is there any CTP?

    Thanks

        Thanks John. I also found that CTP in support site. I wanted to make sure that I was looking at the right thing and there was indeed a problem with MSP6. Your answer definitely strengthens my theory.

          I have tested this pretty extensively, and it does fix the problems and correctly update the lists.

            I tested that too and it works. Our AC people are happy.

              Apparently I didn't test it enough. It's still broken if you use MX123 to rebuild selected lists, and more than one list at a time (in other words, it will work if you rebuild ALL lists of a particular type, or only one list at at time).

              What's happening is in MX123, counter variable "I9" is used to loop thru the lists to be rebuilt.
              However, in ACML70PD library code, "I9" variable is used for another purpose, IT'S VALUE GETS CHANGED and THEREFORE IS CORRUPTED AS A LOOPING VARIABLE!!

              IMO, this CTP was created by Lawson's offshore group, who don't understand COBOL, and Lawson's implementation of library code nor the implications it has for variable scoping...COBOL doesn't have global vs. local variables...a pdlib is COPIED into the mainline code, it's not a "subroutine".

              Workarounds:
              - Build all (not selected) ACTVY lists in MX123
              - Build one list at a time in MX123 via separate jobs
