ESS Benefits Enrollment - My DME and AGS calls Not Working

I added the following two functions and SRC references to the ESS Benefits Enrollment disp_ben_01.htm file to retrieve and update the HL_COV_PROOF field in the PAEMPLOYEE table. Both functions die at the DME and AGS call which causes Benefits Enrollment to display continuously a "Processing..." message. Does anyone know why I am experiencing this issue with my DME and AGS calls?





function getSpouseHealthCoverageHR11()
{
 var dmeObj = new DMEObject(authUser.prodline, "paemployee");
 dmeObj.out = "JAVASCRIPT";
 dmeObj.prod = authUser.prodline;
 dmeObj.field = "hl-cov-proof"
 dmeObj.max = "1";
 dmeObj.otmmax = "1";
 dmeObj.key = parseInt(authUser.company,10) +"="+ parseInt(authUser.employee,10);
 dmeObj.func = "";
 parent.DME(dmeObj,"jsreturn");
 
 if (parent.jsreturn.record[0].hl-cov-proof == 'N')
  return 'checked';
 else
  return '';
}


function updateSpouseHealthCoverageHR11()
{
  var tmp='Y';
 if (self.document.getElementById("SpouseCoverage").checked == true)
  tmp='N';
 var obj = new parent.AGSObject(parent.prodline,"HR11.1")
 obj.event="CHG"
 obj.rtn="DATA"
 obj.longNames=true
 obj.tds=false
 obj.field="FC=C"
  + "&EMP-COMPANY=" + escape(parent.company)
  + "&EMP-EMPLOYEE=" + escape(parent.employee)
  + "&PEM-HL-COV-PROOF=" + tmp
  + "&EFFECT-DATE=" + ymdtoday
 obj.func=""
 obj.debug=false
 parent.AGS(obj,"jsreturn")
}
