Help accessing data returned by a DME call

I am new to HTML/Javascript coding in Lawson S3. I have been asked to replace the use of cycles.htm with a BS06 AGS call in the benefit enrollment (ESS) calculations for mid-year new hires. However, I think a DME call to the BNCYCDTL table will be easier since I only need to retrieve the number of cycles remaining (and not do any type of updating). I can run my DME query in Excel Add-ins and get the one record that I need. But when I try to add the DME code in elect_ben_06.htm I cannot find the information returned.

Here is my DME code for my test record (FRAME1 is defined as an iframe):

var dmeObj    = new DMEObject(parent.parent.prodline,"BNCYCDTL");

dmeObj.out    = "JAVASCRIPT";

dmeObj.index  = "BCCSET1";

dmeObj.max    = "600";

dmeObj.otmmax = "1";

dmeObj.field  = "company;cycle-begin-dt;cycle-end-date;cycle-freq;cycle-plan;effect-date;remain-cycles"

dmeObj.key    = "800" + "=EXPT=" + "20110101" + "=" + "2";

dmeObj.select = "(cycle_begin_dt<=20111009&cycle_end_date>=20111009)";

//dmeObj.func = "getcycles()"; // removed to get return info immediately following the call

dmeObj.debug  = true;

DME(dmeObj,"FRAME1");

 if(self.FRAME1.NbrRecs != 0)

 {

    cycles = self.FRAME1.record[0].remain_cycles

    parent.parent.seaAlert("DME FRAME1 cycles = " + cycles)

 }

I do get the DEBUG window showing the query. But when I try to retrieve the “remain_cycles” value it is “undefined” or “null or not an object”. (I have been using the IE Developer Tools debugger to try different ways to find the data).
