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!

I am hoping someone can help me with a COBOL statement.  I haven't touched cobol in quite a while and my co-worker that usually works with our custom cobol is out of the office for a bit. I have a custom program that was excluding any employee with a term date in a file.  They now want to change it to include anyone termed that day.  The current statement is: IF (EMP-TERM-DATE > '00000000')             GO TO 1040-NEXT-EMP...

We are going from 1 company code to multiple company codes. Some of our custom Screen Rules (.sr files) Hard Code the company, so we need to know which programs use these hard-coded screen rules. Via grep (we're a UNIX shop), I've identified all 14 Form Rules that hard-code ('1111') Company.  However, when I tried to grep which programs used the Form IDs ('H1-EMP-S-0001' is one of the Form Rules, for example), I got no results.  Of the 14 Form Rules, 3 are Rules, 8 are S...

Not sure anybody has ever used Oracle ProCobol or not but....  Been working with Lawson for about 21 years now and at both of my previous employers we purchased our MF licenses via Lawson.  I also used Oracle ProCobol which requires a MF license as well.  never had a problem compiling/executing Oracle ProCobol programs - never had a license issue and Lawson worked fine as well. At my new employer, we are on Version 10 (previous employer was Version 8) and I can't get the Oracle p...

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...

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 fil...

Hello everyone!  I am completely new to Lawson/Infor and have been asked by my employer to create a state tax form. I am pretty well versed in HTML, JavaScript, jQuery. After opening the W4,html file and looking at the use of frames and the functions within, I am very lost. Does anyone have any design guide or any information on creation of new forms with a dictionary of functions Any experience modifying the W4 into a state form I could even entertain paid consulting work for this proj...

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 with...

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.&n...

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...

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 ...

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.gn...

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.

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 wa...
