I know in Crystal Reports I can create a hyperlink using drill.jsp. And I can use query builder to get the specific drill strings.
However, is there a way to do a full drill around similar to what pulls up in portal?
I.E., when I'm on the Employee field in HR11 and select drill I the menu of all drill arounds.
I've tried capturing the calls from within portal but those calls are simply generating the drill lists and I assume the servlet is then building the form displayed....

Are you referring to something like:
"Drill.jsp?_TYP=DT&_SYS=HR&HCU=&Hlw=&01="+cstr({table.COMPANY},0,'')+"&H07="+cstr({table.EMPLOYEE},0,'')+"&_KNB=H07"

That's perfect - thanks Fernando! Can you tell me how you found that? I have not been able to find a lot of documentation on drill.jsp.

It is a bit of a science project which involves going "behind" the drill-around screen and looking at the IDA call. Then thru a series of trial and error, you get the appropriate string. It ain't pretty but it works.
Although some of the stuff at the end is a bit dated, Lawson KB article 100618 "How can I find the Drill Around IDA syntax for a form to use in a Crystal Report?" is a good start. Just ignore step 9 and look at the drill string in my previous post instead.
One tip: while you are doing the detective work in the browser, you will need the product line section of the command (i.e. &_PDL=PROD), however you wont need that section in the Crystal hyperlink.
Once you do a few, you get a feel for what's important and you'll be knocking these things out in no time.

I've found that the Fiddler tool is invaluable for security-related issues. Perhaps it can capture the exact call that the browser is making in this instance as well?
Just my 2 cents.

LAL or the Lawson application linker is what Lawson uses to drill into a transaction like in the applications. There are different ways of constructing a drill string using ags, ida or LAL. There is lot of information in the rs admin guide on all this. If you put each parameter of the drill string together you should be able to construct a drill string that works like the drill around in Lawson. I have often constructed drill strings using the syntax in the rs guide.

Ruma is right, this is covered in Chapter 7 of the RS Admin Guide. The most valuable piece is probably the few sample drill strings they include. I still find that looking at the IDA call behind the specific screen that you want to drill to is the best place to start in constructing the drill string.
Greg, I have used Fiddler quite a bit for debugging self-service and security but never for this. Will have to take a crack at it.
