Hi -
We are still on release 8.0.3/Unix/Oracle.
We have several Visual Basic programs that do AGS calls to various Lawson forms (OE10, RQ10 for example).
In some cases, when passing the FC value (for a change for example) - the VB app passes a "C" and in other cases it passes the whole word "CHANGE".
We have an issue now where VB apps that used to pass the whole word 'CHANGE' via the AGS call are no longer working - they have to be changed to pass just the "C".
We are trying to figure out 2 things (because this was done back in 2004 by a developer who is no longer here):
1. What is the difference between passing "C" or "CHANGE"?
2. What would cause the requirement to change from "CHANGE" to "C" (possibly answering the first question will, by default, answer the second one)?
We have a major upgrade going on to our WMS system which interfaces with our Lawson system.
Thanks in advance - this is a high priority issue for us and I can't find anything on the KB about this.
- Laura

The AGS call used to work with either C or CHANGE - the extra characters were ignored. Did you install a patch before this stop working? I always just use the "C" in my calls since it is shorter and quicker.

No - that is what is so strange. I would think Cobol would just ignore the remaining characters as well - but the developer having the issue is telling me that when he uses the whole word CHANGE - it is treating it as an Inquire.
