    I created a new javascript form to perform PA52 Action.  Here is my code...


    var pObj = new AGSObject(authUser.prodline, "PA52.1");
       pObj.event = "CHANGE";
       pObj.rtn    = "MESSAGE";
       pObj.longNames = true;
       pObj.tds    = false;
       pObj.func = "parent.CheckForErrors()";
       pObj.preInquire = true;
       pObj.field = "FC=A"
                    + "&PCT-COMPANY=" + escape(parseInt(authUser.company,10))
                    + "&PCT-EMPLOYEE=" + escape(parseInt(authUser.employee,10))
                    + "&PCT-ACTION-CODE=TERM-ESS"
                    + "&PCT-EFFECT-DATE=" + todayAGSstr
                     + "&ORIG-COMPANY=" + escape(parseInt(authUser.company,10))
                    + "&ORIG-EMPLOYEE=" + escape(parseInt(authUser.employee,10))
                    + "&ORIG-ACTION-CODE=TERM-ESS"
                    + "&ORIG-EFFECT-DATE=" + todayAGSstr
                    + "&_HK=" + + escape(self.lawheader.HiddenKeys,1)
                    + "&XMIT-IMMED=1"
                    + "&XMIT-HREMP-BLOCK=1000000000"
                    + "&PAT-FLD-NBR-1Ar0=" + escape("Termination Date")
                    + "&PCT-NEW-VALUE-1r0=" + todayAGSstr
                    + "&LINE-FC-1r1=A";
        pObj.debug = false;
           AGS(pObj, "FRAME1");


    It runs but did not create any transactions in PA52. Please help ....

      It is possible that your PA52 transaction is failing?
      PA52 is very picky.

      Turn fiddler (or some debugger on) and cut your ags call out and try it from the URL line and see.

      or make your ags debug = true so that the URL will be displayed and you can test it that way

        Hi Srini Rao,

        From first glance, your call format appears to be correct - but it is easy for it to be screwed up by something very minor. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can tell you without seeing all the related code and having access to your data to debug.

        Are you sure (really, really sure) that all your variables are calculating correctly? I'd suggest you start by replacing all of you variable/query values with hard-coded values to be sure it isn't something that is being passed incorrectly. The _HK field is always a tricky one. You might also try changing the "XMIT-IMMED" to "0" instead of "1" so you can confirm that the Personnel Action is being created with the correct values.

        Judy's comment is spot-on. You need to be sure everything is being passed in correctly. I bet something isn't.

        Sorry I can't give you much guidance beyond that. Good Luck.

          Thanks Woozy. I'm not doing any thing with _HK field.

          I only have two statements for _HK. Do I need to add any logic?

          Here is my two lines....

          self.lawheader.HiddenKeys = "";

          + "&_HK=" + + escape(self.lawheader.HiddenKeys,1)


          Thanks

            Thanks Judy, I turned on the debug. I see that _HK is empty. Do I need to have any values in?

            Woozy, You are correct. My HK is blank.

              Ahhh. Yea, that's a problem.

              The _HK field is required. It is made up of concatenated chunks of other data. I can't remember how it is made up, and I can't get into the knowledge base right now, but there is a document out there that goes into great detail about how to do a PA52 upload (which is what you are doing). I think the KB article is named something like "PA52.1 Upload Error". I suggest that you get that document and use it to determine how to build the _HK field.
