We have just migrated our ENV to LSF9 but not the apps(803). We are testing custom inquiry screen that works on 803 but now I' getting this error in LSF9: tsFindNxtDBRec error is File position not valid for nxt/prv find (114) I'm using ITESET11 to inquire by MANUF-NBR. The drill around routines have no problem at all but when you entered the MANUF-NBR directly then push INQUIRE button I'm getting above error. GSC has told me that the pointer to the file (FIND-NLT) could be wrong and that L...

GL165 creates several files in the print manager directory. One of these files is errors1 which is actually created by program IFTR. I have a job that runs GL165 which has a report distribution associated with it. All the files created by GL165 are distributed to the users defined in the report distribution however errors1 is not. I assume this has something to do with the fact that IFTR creates this file not GL165. I can't modify GL165 since we're in a hosted environment. I don't want to cr...

Hi, I'm a complete newcomer to Lawson HCM, having just crossed over from PeopleSoft HCM, and trying to assess whether Lawson can be customised to produce a foreign language version, specifically Arabic. Whilst I'm interested in a solid long term solution, I would also be interested in (possibly less efficient) temporary 'quick fix' solutions (e.g. using a wrapper of some sort), as a proof of concept. Key requirements are: - the ability to display Arabic text on the screen - the ability to e...

Hey all, I did some searching on this, but didn't seem to find anything, so I apologize if a problem like this has been posted. I'm migrating a custom batch program from Lawson 8 to LSF9.  When I migrate it to LSF9 and compile, I get some compile errors. The program is defined in the PR system code.  However, it's using the UPPERCASE (PD) & ARSTORAGE (WS) library that is in the AR system code.  It tries to move a value to ARWS-FIELD-IN (which is in the ARSTORAGE working storage library), then...

In the 8.0.3 environment after a user types an invalid value in a listbox field the invalid value is cleared out and the message bar displays the 'Value not in list:' error. In the 9.0 environment after a user types an invalid value in a listbox field the invalid value remains in the field and the message bar displays the 'Value not in list:' error. On my custom form, my Design Studio script checks to make sure that required listbox fields are not blank.  In 8.0.3 this also ensured that the va...

We have several customizations that send AGS calls from a ESS form.  Prior to 9.0, this would work with the following:            // build ags call for effective date validation          var vAGScall = '_PDL=' authUser.prodline;          vAGScall = '&_TKN=ZZPS.1&_LFN=ALL&_RTN=DATA&_TDS=IGNORE&_OUT=XML&_EVT=CHG&FC=I';                  vAGScall = '&FR-DATE=' vDate '&ERROR=Z&_EOT=TRUE';          // send ags call to the server          var vAGSInfo = top.httpRequest(top.AGSPath vAG...

I can embed the username and password in the URL to bypass the SSO login screen, however, when I try the same URL using my downloaded http_get.c program it returns the SSO login screen. Anyone have any suggestions is there some http options/settings I need to change Does the web browser do something magical that I cannot in my C program http://ServerName/sso/SSOS...

I need to reformat the ACH tape file that it is produced by the PR160. I created a custom program that will run after the PR160 and reformat the tape file. The location of the tape file after the PR160 is completed is $LAWDIR/print/username/jobname/1/ My custom program is reading the tape file from $LAWDIR/productline/work directory (I am moving it manually).

Trying to test an AGS query in Processflow 9.0 with a custom form (RQPR) I created (a simple paintscreen in REQHEADER).  Created it in pgmdef, the run type us 4GL, tried both 'In Production' values of None and Unix. I have full rights to the form using my laua security class. We're not using LSF9 security yet. Using AIX in 9.0 environment with 8.03.11 apps. Here is the API call I'm testing. It works fine within LID. I tried both RQPR.1 and RQPR to no avail. _PDL=PROD8X&_TKN=RQPR.1&_EVT=CHG&_RT...

I'm just beginning to test LSF9 and I one of my custom cobol program is using WEBUSER,  SIRDIDHDR in logan. The program does not compile because above files are now gone in logan but they are now located in LDAP.

Is there another table that I can use in my 4GL so I can maintain email addresses.   Thanks   Sam

As an example, a simple oracle sql query where the user might know that the description contained 'BAT' would be: select * from itemmast where v...
