Hello, all: I've been tasked to investigate the possibility of a searchable org chart (the one that displays in ESS/MSS would be preferable) Anyone figured out a way to make this searchable by name&160; If you don't know who someone reports to and what the chain of command is above them, it's pretty difficult to find one of our 5000 employees. Thanks for any response! -Greg

I have an error condition that I would like the beginning USER EXIT to pass back to PA52. I am Setting CRT-ERROR-NBR = 106, CRT-ERROR-CAT ="PA52B", CRT-ERR-VAR1, CRT-ERR-VAR2 When I animate the program, as soon as the user exit exits and returns to PA52, the error variables are reset and the error is not passed along. What do I need to code to force ANY error to appear

Hello, I have never wrote Lawson code to sort a file internally so I am using a Lawson program as model. My goal is to sort some records and then create a report. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I created a WF and SF file in the work definition section. I am getting an error :  bad File Status 9 009 on file Work-File. Here is my source code:             PERFORM 900-BUILD-TMP-FILE-NAME.   ...

I am looking to customize MSS so that when a manager enter a PA action on someone, I can hard code a value into a 'CURRENT VALUE' field. For example, I want to hardcode the Current Value for STATUS to be 'ACTIVE' for everyone.  Does anyone know what file would call the CURRENT VALUE, or any pointers in getting this accomplished Thanks in advance

Has anyone added the HR11 (Assignment tab) Location field to ESS so that an employee can select (or change) their assignment location using ESS If possible I would also need to have the Drill Select window available for the Location field in ESS.  

We are creating a process for an item add, where the request is coming from outside Infor and kicking off an approval IPA.  Within the approval IPA, it'll route to one person to assign a charge number, and then to procurement to assign an item description, vendor catalog, etc.  I'm trying to handle all of this within the inbasket, but since there isn't a classic workunit generated, the landmark workunit number doesn't get passed to the display exec for use in the chgvariable serlvets ...

Does anyone know how to do the setup to debug batch programs on a remote server.  We are on Windows 2012 R2 servers.  I was able to get the cobdebugremote64 running and I do see Connection with established and closed when done.  What is happening is a have been getting MFRUN.gnt not found.  This is not the program that is being debugged. Can anyone help

We have a custom library that is a clone of a Lawson-delivered program.  It is invoked from within one of our custom programs - but we don&39;t seem to know where so we aren&39;t sure it is even needed anymore.  Can someone please refresh my memory on how to tell where the program is invoked from  I believe you do it using the "lstinvk" command and possibly the "-A" option  I don&39;t want to submit any compiles - I just want to determine what program...

Env 10.0.9, Windows Apps: 10.0.MSP7 so I have this new custom 4GL screen. Works in LID and Portal. However when I try to do an AGS call from Design Studio or IPD, it bombs with a message : Check IOS.log for details. The log has these entries. Can anybody point me to where I should be troubleshooting I am able to do AGS calls on other screens, Lawson delivered or custom. Just this one screen bombs.

Good Morning - wondering if anyone has already done this before I "reinvent the wheel".  I&39;ve been asked to add Current Average Daily Usage and Current Day&39;s Supply On Hand to the existing Lawson-delivered IC145 report in order to do Pandemic reporting.  These fields are visible in IC44 form but according to Infor Support they are not included in any delivered report.  Because of the emergency need for Pandemic reporting - looking up every time individu...

HI - I need some help.  I had to create a cloned version of the Lawson IC145 in order to add additional fields to the report (I&39;m making an invoke to IC44 to grab the calculated fields that I need and displaying them onto the report).  The report works fine - the users have been running it for a couple weeks now in Portal.  However, they want to put this report on LBI and they keep getting an error that the report cannot be burst.  The user opened up a ticket with Infor w...

It&39;s been a long while since I have posted anything to lawsonguru. I&39;m doing a little bit of COBOL development within Lawson v10. I&39;m writing a custom program. I have a sort file and a csv file. In the sort file I have defined it in workdef with some fields are of type "Signed" with length 11.2 (for example. In my custom program data is correctly being written to with the "" or "-" sign on the fields in the sort file. If I try to define the ...

Our 3rd party provider has requested that we explore the posibility of using XML files in place of the pdf files that we use presently as (manual) input for PR13 (Employee Taxes).   The idea is to somehow automate the process. We can parse the xml files in IPA to generate a csv file that should generally be formatted  like DEDLOADCSV (for PR514). Some questions:1. Can PR514 handle Tax withholding changes  2. If so, how do we specify what values to p...

I have never seen this one before.  Trying to set up a multi-step job using a custom batch program for the first step and a user token for the second step.  I constantly get the error - IllegalValue Exception: JobType:getValue(): Invalid value for job type - trying for the step with the custom program.  And it only happens in Portal - I can set up the job fine in LID.  I can set up a multi-step job using a Lawson-delivered program and the same user token from the job that err...

Hello All, I am trying to develop a new custom prorgram for S3 in Cobol. I am trying to use the sort file. Program compiles fine and when I try to run it, it gives me an error on File status 29/230 on sort file. I looked it up and there not anywhere I see this error code or its meaning. Need help to sort this out. Any suggestions. Raj

On PO20 drill down screen, I want to add remaining balance value. Is there any easy way of doing it, do I have to do an enhancement request for it, which I am trying to avoid deperately.

Hi, Using Lawson 4GL Cobol what code/programming can I use to get an employee’s current Job Code effective date Thank you, agersh

We plan to move from V10/Oracle DB/Linux to V10/SQL Server/Windows Coming from my perspective as a Lawson developer and support person - how difficult is it going to be to port all our custom programs, user tokens, Unix scripts, stored procedures, etc over to Windows.  Has anyone found that you have to pretty much rewrite your Linux scripts  Are there a lot of differences in compiling programs, Lawson programmer tools, etc.  I also thought that the Lawson table names are diffe...

Kind of a theoritcal question here. Is it possible to utilize and run existing Lawson COBOL programs outside of the Lawson environment  Meaning, let&39;s say you have a PR530 or HR211 program and your Lawson environment "goes down" and isn&39;t available, meaning LID and Portal aren&39;t running (for whatever reason). But, your MF COBOL run time and compiler are still available and licensed, as well as your Lawson S3 database and of course the Windows (or Unix) serv...

Been YEARS since i&39;ve done any COBOL, as well as in Lawson. I&39;m trying to read through the MA531 PD file to understand exactly what / how it is processing our EDI data, possibly looking at doing a small modification. Anyway, looking through it and following everything is driving me crazy. Is there a way to run the program in our TEST environment in a debug mode where I can make the program step through and follow the path it takes in the PD file Many thanks!

Has anyone created or modified a Lawson Cobol program to call a UNIX Shell script, and if so can you share how you accomplished this Thanks!
