Hello,  I am very, very new to the Lawson software, and was asked to look at the user exit process.  I was wondering if somebody would be willing to share a simple user exit program.   I have been going thru the doc's and any posts or all information I can find.  But an example would go along way. I am not real sure of the naming convention that needs to be followed and if the user exit needs to be defined in the source lib or the obj lib.  I think the obj lib is for the executable.    IE:  I ...

Does anyone have documentation of information they could send for Lawson API calls We are looking to gather vendor, invoice, gl details as well as load data to the APC tables but the documentation from Infor has not proved helpful.  TIA!

Does anyone know if there is a Lawson process to check or monitor the recovery queue Or would I have to create a job script to monitor and notify whenever there is job in waiting recovery

We have some users who have upgraded their browsers to IE11.   Seems once we upgrade a browser, we loose visibility of form messages at the bottom; for example; Job Added, Change Complete, etc... We have made sure the forms are set no larger than 100 but that does not seem to matter.  Anyone else experiencing this or have you managed to correct this issue in some way     Thanks.. Jim

We have a customization within pactions.htm that in V9 was not a problem.  The customization was 3 DME with functions that called each other.  In V10 portal, if we run this in chrome only the functions seem to run in one thread and the rest of the program in one of more other threads.  As a result the loading of internal tables that are needed for the rest of the program are not available when needed.  The only thing that we have found that fixes this is to actually put in an Alert statement.  A...

Can anyone shed some light on the Rel 10 upgrade where we will be 'forced' to move to Visual COBOL   What are the differences as far as development practices  Any good references on-line   We are scheduled to upgrade in April at the present time and just trying to get ideas on what to expect on the development side...   Thank you   Jim

I’ve created a custom program that has two reports coming out of it.  I have given the $PRINTFILE command in the .rpt for the second and I open/close the file in the PD and have the workfile defined.  Everything is working and if I go into the Unix print file directory from the command line, I see the second report there but it doesn’t show in the print manager itself.  What am I missing  I know in Unix (from a script), I can run the loadrpts command to get a file to load to print manager - but...

Hi - I know you can go into the print manager and force a .prt file to be dumped to a .csv/.pdf file using the tools within print manager.  Does anyone know if there is a way, via a Unix script, where I can take the .prt file and transform it into a .csv or .pdf file  I'm trying to write a process to backup all the files within specific print directories and save them to the network.  But I found out that the users typically go in and save the files into other formats, from within the print ma...

I copied an existing program to create a new one (online program).  The existing program only had a single form in the .scr file.  I added 5 more forms (.2, .3, .4, etc) to the new .scr file and updated the PD to process the data in the forms.  The forms in LID work perfect.  I can do a form transfer to all 6 forms and enter/update data.  However, when I go into LSA - only the '.1' form is showing and when I go into Design Studio and Ming.le - only the '.1' is showing.  In LSA, I only have acces...

It seems like this is one jumbled text field that isn't very readable. Has anyone come up with a good way to parse this out for something more readable   Thank you,

Users have inquired about customizing the labels for the Login/Password input boxes on the Infor10 Mingle Login screen to be more helpful to the users about what values are to be used for logging into the Infor10 system(s). Other customizations (ie.  Listing the environment, displaying links to Tutorials, displaying notices, etc) may also be requested in the future. We are familiar with doing such customizations for the old 9.X version, but with the code changes introduced with Infor10, we are...

We are in the process of moving to the cloud from Rel 9.0.1 Unix.   We have a few custom programs that are not compiling and I am getting an error that I have never seen before. Not knowing what to look for, I have validated paths, slash direction and called Lawson routines and everything seems to be in place.  There are only a few of our custom programs that are not compiling and there is nothing unusual about these programs.  Has anyone run into before The error message I am receiving durin...

I have a program that somehow has a trace turned on and I can't figure out how to turn it off.  I've re-compiled it numerous times with no special options, just a straight 'qcompile test ic ip527'.  It fills up the log with a trace of sections/paragraphs executed.  Does anyone know how to shut this off  Thanks!   Here's a sampling of the output: Step 1: IP527 Started. . . . . .: Tue Jan 24 15:07:43 2017 Token Command. . . . . .: D:\lsfdev\law\test\obj\IP527.gnt Executable Command ....

We have created several customized EMSS bookmarks.  Since upgrading to Infor 10 and using IE without compability mode on, we are having issues with older versions of .htm .js being cached.  Any suggestions on how to clear cache for these custom bookmarks when changes are required

Does anyone know the meaning of file status 9-230  We have a custom COBOL which runs in Windows in v9.0.1 but throws that error on a sort file in the Cloud in v10.

we are creating an IPA to query jobs in a 'waiting recovery' status.  What I would like to do is resubmit the job in waiting recovery status using WebRun node.  We have an IPA using WebRun that submits a job.  Is there a way to resubmit a job using webrun using the job id of the job in a 'waiting recovery' status

Hi - I did this back at my old job (that had Lawson V8 - we're on V10 here where I am now).  I want to print SMALL labels using data from ITEMMAST.  The labels are only 2.5 ' x 1'.  The way I did this in the past was I set the labels up in the .prt file for the custom program, made sure they lined up and then ran the program to generate the .prt file and send that to the printer.  I remember the one issue was, in V8 anyways, you couldn't bypass the banner page so that was wasted label stock. Ha...

I am receiving a file status code that I have no documentation and cannot find it in Google.   The file status is on a sort file and the status code is 9 230.   Anyone know what that means   Thanks   Jim

All - I've created a custom program to print labels on a Zebra printer.  I basically copied the way AP290 has the labels set up in the .prt file.  The new Zebra printer is hooked up on the network, defined in prtdef, etc.  When I try to send the output (from the print manager) to the printer (I select the printer from the dropdown in print manager) - I get the message that the print file was printed but nothing physically prints on the printer.  After working with others for 3 days of trying to ...
