We have custom RPG codes built over the Lawson application. In version 9.0 can we directly READ or UPDATE database files by using these RPG commands like we are doing currently. Or do we have to use APIs for it

In MSS on the personnel action change page, is there a way to make the Reason codes required  Currently you can submit an action without selecting something from that pull down box.  I'm on 9.0 apps and environment.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has already gone through this process and may be able to help me out. We currently use FlexForm for printing our AP and payroll checks. In LID, we setup a Form Transfer (F8) (in the User tab) that accesses Environment Form ID's that we created.  These form's access/run .bat scripts (on the Windows server) that create the formating and print our checks. We want to move our users to Portal and I cannot find any Lawson documentation on how to recreate this LID proce...

Greetings all, See attached. Not sure how I am going to word this but here goes: In MSS Personnel Actions, we have created a new action. Once you select that action and click 'Continue', a simple new selection field will appear. This is a drop down field. It will list the DESCRIPTION but will return the CODE. Now I added a text field next to this drop down field that will show the DESCRIPTION of the CODE. I can get the value of the CODE field using: var obj = self.main.document.getElementById...

I'm on LSF 9.0.0.6, Windows Server 2003, SQL-Server 2005, with my apps and web products on one box (WCHLAWAPP01) and my database on another (WCHLAWDB01). I'm trying to use tokendef to call a batch file that resides on my app server.  Within the batch file is a SQL command that I use to kick off an interface on the database server.  Running the batch file directly from a DOS cmd prompt results in a successful execution with no errors.  However, running it from a job definition within Lawson to e...

In a COBOL program you can use the Lawson defined variable 'CRT-JOB-NAME'  to refrence the job that is calling the program.  Is there a way to do the same in a script that is called by a user defined Lawson form I need to know the jobname of a multi-step job that runs a program and then runs a script to copy a printfile from that program. In order to copy the printfile, I need to know the jobname because it is part of the path where the printfile resides.

I am looking for information on how to automate the import of multiple interface files from our Lawson ftp server into the gltransrel table.  I am looking at the importdb utility, but there does not appear to be a way from that utility to import multiple files in a single pass.  I would like to have Lawson make a daily, or even hourly pass through the ftp to pick up any files that are out there.  Can a recdef job be defined here possibly as a solution.

I am in the process of migrating our custom programs from applicaton 8.0.3, env lsf 9.0.0.4 to application 9.0.0, env lsf 9.01.

We're implementing LSF9 now.  I'm working on Help Desk procedures for portal password resets.  I'm told the only option is the Lawson Security Administrator. I'd rather not have to install that on the Help Desk PCs.  I'd much rather create a web or shell script but I'm told it can't be done. I've thought about writing my own web to talk to LDAP but I don't want to mess things up.  Has anyone else faced this sort of thing
