    I'm transferring from GM11.1 to GM11.3 and need to capture the Employee value which isn't displayed on GM11.3 but is used to limit what's displayed.

      I think values are transferred using Key Values in the .scr file. For instance in HR11, the .scr has an entry that looks like this:

      2 EMP-EMPLOYEE N 09 SL H07

      Any screen that has a field with the key number H07 will get passed the value when form transferred.

          You would treat it like any other screen field:

          for example to check if the employee filed is populated, in the PD

          (IF GM11F3-EMP-EMPLOYEE NOT = ZEROES)

            Sorry for being so stupid here, but how would I assign the EMPLOYEE value to a variable within Design Studio. I'm not in the procedure division.

              Opps. Did not realize this was Design Studio forum.
              I was thinking in 4GL terms.
