I am trying to write a query that will return APINVOICE, APDISTRIB, APVENMAST, and APPAYMENT information. Basically the user wants the Paid invoice detail information including vendor name and check number & date. I created the following query but it doesn't seem to completely work the way I would like it to do. It pulls the same invoice & distrib twice for each combination. In other words, if there is a single invoice with 2 distribution records, instead of the query returning 2 r...

How would one call a web service on another machine FROM lawson&160; The call would need to be made in the background without opening a new window.&160;&160; The web service can accept either a POST or GET request.&160; For this request, the response is not processed but future request probably would need to process the response.&160;I think the xmlhttp request is the answer but have no documentation on it's use. I've seen a lot of posts on calling into Lawson web services from external a...

I'm looking for the table (if one exists) that I can use to look up the field name by the field number of the Personnel Action.  I know table DBHRPAD (PADICT) contains the field number and item name which is the description of the field, but it doesn't have the actual name of the field.  For example, if I look up field number 2 in DBHRPAD, the item name is 'Name - Last'.  But I need the actual name of the field 'DEMPLSTNM', not the description of the field. Is there a tab...

Dear All,   What is the best way to add spaces in a Header for a CSV file which is generated via a Lawson 4GL batch program while using 800-WRITECSV-. I also need to add a field 'Debit/Credit Separator' in the file with spaces and '/'. what is the best and simple way to achieve this.

Hi Everyone, I have a 4GL custom program that includes a work file with lots of fields.  I want to create a secondary report for the job based on the work file (so it shows in Print Manager), but there are more columns than will fit on the print report. I really would prefer to include only a couple of rows on the print report, but have all the columns show on the csv version of the report. I've tried adding additional fields to the report group $FIELDS section without including them in t...

Hi all,  I am looking for some help on scripting in Lawson,  I am new to the software, looking to run a script to dump a table to csv file. I can run the  rngdbdump –c gen queuedjob >  jqstat.csv   from the server and it will run clean and dump the data to the csv file.  When I apply the same code in a script, nothing gets dumped to the csv file,  the file is created but no records in the file.  I also tried the jqstatus same issue.     ...

Curious if anyone has done a database read (find) where the read places the data into a separate or unique working storage section.  Example READ VENMAST INTO VENMAST-PAY-VENDOR.

Hi Gurus - I'm stumped, and I need some ideas. We have a custom batch program that includes an error report.  I recently modified the program and the error report to add additional columns.  With the new columns, the report is too wide for the printed report but works fine in the CSV export in DEV. However, after promoting the changes to PROD, the report compiles and runs without errors in PROD, but some of the new columns are blank in the CSV including the error message column (from...

Working on my first update form in PGMDEF and have run into a number of issues.  Currently, I can’t seem to get rid of the previous version of my form. Ideally it will have multiple PRDISTRIB records and allow just the account field to be updated.  At this point, it’s just and “online inquiry” that shows a few fields from the file. The problem is that I created a new version but Lawson won’t display it. Here’s the sequence: Create form in PGMDEF....

We have a custom batch program that validates input date from a csv file. The date is never formatted properly and sometimes could be mddyy, mmddyy, or mmdyy. We want the date to be reformatted as mmddyyyy.  If the input date is 8 digits and mmddyyyy. then continue processing. Otherwise, check if the date length and fix it. Is there a Lawson API I can use to reformat the input date to be mmddyyyy 

I am writing an SQL statement to select dates from a table and creates a file.  I want to convert date to string mm/dd/yyyy.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. select startdate from table;  this date is displayed as 31-MAY-15 so I want it displayed as 05-31-2015

I am not sure why I am not seeing the issue with a simple extract program... but I am at a loss at this point.    We have an extract file being produced as a 250 byte fixed length file.   There are 3 record types... a typical Header, Detail and Trailer record.  Each record must be delimited by  CR/LF characters. The logic writes the records to an intermediate sequential file and then at the end of the job it is reformatted by a cnvexp -f  filename  250  ...

Hello, Is there a way to automatically send to Lawson a bunch of requests to a specified form via a Java http client  Actually I am able to do this, but it is very slow as I have to programmatically logon and logoff for each request.  I need to be able to log in once, and then send all the requests I need to.   Any time I send a request after the session has timed out, then I want to be able to detect this and re login, then send my requests.  Is there an API for this in e...

I'm trying to do something that should be very simple - determine the existence of Comments on Invoice Messages, just like MA66 does when it needs to determine what text to put in the Message Button on the screen.  Simple, no I looked through the API manual to see if there was any voodoo involved - looked pretty easy. copied the code right out of MA66PD and dropped it into my program.              INITIALIZE   &...

When a 4GL program creates a CSV file, and numeric fields defined in that CSV contain ZERO values, BLANKS are substituted. Is there a way to force a ZERO instead Is there a setting in a configuration file that can do that Example: CSV file contains 2 fields, NAME and COUNT. The value in NAME = 'J.Jones' The value in COUNT = 0 Currently the CSV record for the above looks like... 'J.Jones', I need it to look like... 'J.Jones',0

Dear All, I have to copy a standard program having around 10 workfiles. We all know that Lawson doesn't change the name of workfile and WS-Field ID in work file definition while copying , It changes the same in PD (like wherever I am using WH130, it will change it to ZZ130 in PD/WS, The workfile name starting from WH130 doesn't change). It seems like I have to manually go into PD and change the name of all the Workfiles and other field. I had done it earlier also where there were like couple of...
