I made a change to the file GLADDRESS, and added a fourth user field that I would like to use on the GL20. I did the usual dbdef, blddbdict, and dbreorg. The new field is in GLADDESS, field name (OPTFIELD4), and now I would like to add it to the form GL20 using design studio. I usually start from scratch when creating new forms, but this time, I would just like to add this one field. When I go to the GL20, add a new text box, and look for the new field I added, it is not there. Is this the proper procedure to use, or am I suppose to be using the CASE tool PGMDEF to add this field to the form before design studio can see it. You would figure it would be available to select and add in design Sudio.
Thanks for the help in advance...
This might be a stupid question, but what is an attribute in Lawson?
It's a way of creating a user-defined data element attached to a record...Lawson provides that capability for a number of reference items (i.e. vendor, customer, accounting unit, account) as well as AC and GL transactions.
Now, I have to scold you, and don't mean to offend you, but if you don't know what an attribute is, you probably have no business making the afore-mentioned modification to such a core table in Lawson without understanding the future ramifications.
I concur, no offense taken...
