I am trying to add/change a value of a user field through processflow.... I can do this through microsoft add-ins but when I run a similar ags call in portal I get a "change complete - continue" message with NO CHANGE TO THE USER FIELD....

http://servername/servlet/ags?
_PDL=TEST&_TKN=HR11.1&_EVT=CHG&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=Change&EMP-COMPANY=****&EMP-EMPLOYEE=****&EFFECT-DATE=20070226&HRU-FLD-NBR1=****&WS-FLD-NBR=****&VALUE1=****&WS-LINE-FC1=****&WS-VALUE1=****&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE

EMP-Company = company number (1)
EMP-Employee = EMPLOYEE #
HRU-FLD-NBR1 = 2000 + field key (2069)
WS-FLD-NBR = 2000 + field key (2069)
VALUE1 = new value
WS-LINE-FC1 = C if value exists or A if empty
WS-VALUE1 = new value

Anyone have a suggestion?

_PDL=TEST&_TKN=HR11.1&_EVT=CHG&_RTN=DATA&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=Change&_ADDINS=TRUE&_f1=C&_f257=1000&_f684=1&_f263=1&_f265=10004&_f267=20070227&_f478:0=2069&_f4=2069&_f482:0=Y&_f477:0=C&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE

f1 = LINE action ?????????cann't find data on this
f257 = I HAVE NO CLUE???????? XMIT-HREMP-BLOCK
f684 = maybe company number?????? PT-FROM-PR134
f263 = company number
f265 = employee number
f267 = effective date
f478 = 2000 + field key
f4 = 2000 + filed key
f482 = value
f477 = line fc

anyone know what f1, f257, f684?

I still need to test what changes for an ADD or a CHANGE.... Also, does anyone have processflow running in a test environment? I know this script runs in portal but can't test in processflow because I only have processflow available in a live version.

Shane, couple of things that might help you out:

- Adding the 'LFN=TRUE' argument to your AGS call will show the field names associated w/ the "f_" numbers, which should help you resolve the unmapped fields.
Although you're not using VB, but this article might give you some insight into the AGS calls;
https://www.danalytics.co.../archive/2006-08.htm

- Also, see my article on updating HR11 fields via Addins, which may give you some assistance.
https://www.danalytics.co.../archive/2005-12.htm

With regards to the change vs. add issue...
Now, what I end up doing for clients is to provide them with a simple custom form that "front-ends" the user fields and handles the add vs. change logic via COBOL...all the AGS call needs to do is post the values to this custom form and it figures out the add vs. change ...
