I'm relatively new to Process Flow and we've just implemented our first set of flows.  One of them pertains to PO approvals.  When the Flow determines the purchase order is within the users approval limits, it does an AGS call to PO20.1 to change the status to Released; not Issued.  We've have a few where the update did not occur.  When I check the log, it indicates an Ags Error. (i.e. Posting Date beyond the activity's date range)  This error would have come up  had the user taken the "Release"  action in PO 20

I'd like to able to communicate form error messages back to the user via an email.

When you do an AGS call you get a status message back. This can be included in an email to the user. If you're triggering ProcessFlow from the PO20 form the user who was logged in should be the user on the WorkUnit. You can use a query to get the userid and a resource query to get their email.

That's where I'm stuck.  How do I go about getting at the status message within my Flow?

The variable should look like: AGS2480_RETURN_MSG
