AGS PageDown looping beyond 2nd page

What you should be doing is using the Position To field with an Inquire. Pass the value from AGS_PT_JBC_JOB_CODE to the next Inquire you perform.

Your AGS call would include: &FC=I&JBC-COMPANY=71&PT-JBC-JOB-CODE=10050 to get to the 2nd page
and &FC=I&JBC-COMPANY=71&PT-JBC-JOB-CODE=11040 to get to the 3rd page and so forth

Why aren't you using a DME call against the HR system table JOBCODE?

Thanks David for the suggestion. Seems odd to me that I need to populate the PT since the Lawson form does that but I will give it a shot; again I am new to ProcessFlow so am learning the tricks of the trade.

In regard to why I am doing an AGS to HR06 rather than an DME is that I wanted to give an example of how the pageDown was not working. I just grabbed a random Lawson detail form that I knew would have more than 3 pages. In reality I have a custom detail form that performs complex logic to return subsets of the employee population based on WF criteria.

Thank you again for your prompt reply.

Kim,
If you'd care to email me at David@ConsultDavidW.com then I'd be happy to send you my ProcessFlow Designer training guide (no cost).

Portal often populates the PT- fields behind the scenes to keep track of where the user is on a detail form. What you are doing with ProcessFlow is simulating how Portal would be doing it, which is 80% of the cases is via the key fields and the PT- fields.

As for AGS vs DME, Using AGS can be a perfectly valid approach if you want data that is calculated and/or displayed on a form but not in the primary/related tables in a DME query.

i have a similar problem. I am using AGS call in a loop for the program to change some data in the AC13.1 form. The AGS query works fine when I pass the Position To field, but in this case an activity might have different set of attributes.

All the activities in AC13.1 will have the attributes whose values that I am trying to load, but they will also have other attributes which might not be the same as every other activity. When I pass FC=PageDown it only goes to the 2nd page, and I can't seem to get to 3rd or 4th page. How can I go to these pages without using the position to field?

Thanks a lot in advance

Look at the results of your AGS call Inquire - very often when multiple values are required for the next set of records there will be "next record" values which will become your "position to" values to get beyond the 2nd page.

Lawson forms that have detail lines have position to fields, they are not necessarily visible on the form.  If you use the AGS wizard in ProcessFlow it will show you the hidden fields as well.  As a general rule (there are exceptions) the position to fields start with PT- and there may be more than one.  if the key fields for the record it is read has more values than whats displayed then the rest of the key is probably hidden pt fields. 

Some times you actually have to look at the COBOL logic for the Page Down to see the exceptions.
