    We have a old Lawson installation and when we need to add the next marking period from 123109 to 13110, in the Company setup - Fiscal Year it shows 2010 but message says Value not in list : 1910:2009

    Any help where this list is stored and how to change it.

    Thanks.

      You can probably look in GL10.scr, change the range and run scrgen to rebuild the form. Not sure where else this will bite you however.

        One of the critical notifications recently addressed a topic like what you are seeing. See if this helps any.

        Lawson Portal: Century date is showing as 19XX instead of 20XX

        Article ID:1000252


        Description:
        When I view a form in the Lawson Portal, the century date is defaulting to 19 instead of 20. The dates are displayed correctly in the Lawson Interface Desktop (LID). How do I resolve this issue in Portal?

        Resolution:
        To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:

        Edit the LAWDIR/system/univ.cfg file.

        Add or change the CENTURY parameter in this file and set it to 20, for example: CENTURY 20

        Restart the WebSphere Application Server (WAS).


        Additional Information:
        For more detailed information about the Century parameter and how it is used, please reference Knowledge Base Article Id 960591 linked below.

          You should also be able to see if this is related to LID or Portal since the above example is Portal related.

            We also have an old Lawson system. I changed the /LAWSON/lawson/system/univ.cfg file back on 11/10/2009. We are having issues with some users getting the 1910 dates from the screen parms. This happens when a new job is cloned from an old job - if the job is created from scratch the system recognizes the 2010 dates. We found another univ.cfg file under /LAWSON/gen/system - it does not have the new CENTURY parm. We are wondering if that could be the problem. Any ideas?

              I think it's GL10.scr itself. There is a range edit for GLS-FISCAL-YEAR in the $EDITS section of the form definition, and I will bet it is set to 1910:2009.

                Our installation is on HP Unix so I cannot  find the GL10.scr: where is this file?

                Adding CENTURY 20 to the cfg did not work.

                Pleas help.

                Thanks.

                  Never mind. I found the GL10.scr under $LAWDIR/prog/apps/prod/ifsrc

                  Do I just change the list or do I need to like compile code?

                  We are probable using COBOL code as I see code files like GL10PD, etc.

                  Please help so I can make the change final.

                  BTW- kept the change of univ.cfg with added line for CENTURY.

                  Thanks.

                    So, you found GLS-FISCAL-YEAR in the $EDITS section of GL10.scr, and it is set to 1910:2009 ??
                    If so, change it to 1910:2100
                    Then run scrgen to rebuild the form

                      I am logged in as lawadm and when I run scrgen GL10.scr it tells "security violation" with lawson running and after stoplaw; I get

                      "File GEN/USER.
                      OpenDBFile error is Can not communicate with enterprise server (12).
                      System error is No such file or directory (2)."

                      Now what did I do wrong?

                      BTW, there are no other users on the system.

                      Thanks
