During an upgrade from 8.0.3 to 9.0 LSF, somehow the installers did not dump/copy the menus correctly for any of the ED screens. So, for example, none of the ED screens (edi) can be launched directly from command line (e.g. lapm logan ed330). The message is: Server Terminated: Windows does not allow form id transfer. Tried tokendef in 9.0, and dumping ed menus from 8.0.3.... Anyways I used to know how/where to define the ability to allow screens to be launched directly from command line or tra...

I came from an SAP environment and have been working with Lawson for a year. In SAP when you created customization and tested it in DEV, we could 'transport' all modified changes. In Lawson I recently had to create a new payroll company which included HR, benefits, absence management, cashbook etc. so have made changes to a total of almost 100 screens. My testing was completed successfuly in the DEV environment. Is there any way to move all my customizations to production without having to m...

I am developing a custom version of the AP16.1 Vendor Bank form called CZ16.1 to invoke a custom processflow trigger. The problem is the AP10 Vendor form has a 'Subforms' menu at the top of the screen. The second item in the menu list is 'Vendor Bank'. When clicked, the AP16.1 form appears. I don't want that to happen. I need my custom version (CZ16.1) to appear. Any idea how to change which form appears I looked through the AP10 compile listing...no references to AP16.1. ...

Hello All I would like to know if it is possible to customize & introduce multi threading with the standard Lawson supplied Java program (like ABATN.java, MA95F.java).

Thread 1 handles xx rows based on COMPANY key value from 1..100 Thread 2 handles yy rows based on COMPANY key value from 101..200 Thread 3 handles zz rows based on COMPANY key value from 201....

All: Recently we have moved to LSF9 from 803 env. Back in the 803 env I had developed a report in Crystal to get the user id's and group membership from LOGAN and added the supervisor code from the HRSUPER table. Now that LOGAN is no longer able to provide this information, I was wondering if there was a recommended way to get this information from TDS where it exists now Is there an ODBC connection, or native Oracle connection available to connect to TDS and if so, woul...

Hey, I'm having an issue with transferring pages. In using a Name Search (ZIAB) screen to find an applicant number, I transfer to another page (ZI31) using a speecific applicant, and (since it's a customized page), I only see the supplemental data, and the Lawson data fields are empty. After that, if I try to do any Inquiry on any applicant on the screen, I get a status bar message saying 'Value not in list:N,Y,X,1,2,3,4,5'. Any ideas on what that means or how to fix it (It also happens on Next...

I am looking to default our users to the 'advanced search' rather than the normal 'search' within RSS. Our users seem to expect the normal search to function more like the 'Word Finder' option under the advanced search. I tried changing the code within itemSearch.htm and itemSearch.js, but have not had any luck other than getting the advanced search to show up on the left side, but 'search' is defaulted. Thanks

I have checked up the table for records. There are 3 records available. Can someone help

Hi all - We just upgraded to LSF9 (9002) on HP-UX with 803 apps. Prior to the upgrade, we had Remote IOS installed on a Windows server, and made AGS calls to a form on the app server. Well, AGS has been replaced, and I have the URL down to make the transaction call successfully. However, we have to manually interact with the web login screen for authentication. Does anyone know how to bypass that or pass the credentials in the URL Thanks a ton in advance, Nicole

We are in the process of testing 803 in an AIX environment. We are having a lot of issues but one particular cobol program that has been working in solaris it seems does not work in AIX. Here's the situation: We have a cobol program that has a call to a simple ksh script as the last statement. The cobol routines is working fine except the called script is not working at all(this is a simple rename and move). However, when you call the script thru LID it is working as it should. Is ther...

Has anyone ever ran into an issue similar to this, and if so what did you do I have created 2 or 3 'custom' reports. They run fine and generate the desired output. However, when I try to genereate a CSV file from the PRTMGR in LID, the CSV File selection is not 'selectable'. I'm thinking there might be a parameter within the report form that has to be set This action works fine in the standard Lawson apps, so it must be something that I have omitted. Thanks!

Writing out a data file using 4GL. Each line in my file is fixed width of 750 characters. But the last populated field is at character 650. The remaining fields are populated with spaces. When I define the workfile to be TAPE, the line of my file ends at 650 (last non-space character). I need the file to place the carriage return-line feed at 750. Is there a pure 4GL way to accomplish this. (I am not going to be able to script this out on Unix after the fact.) I know I could make t...
