How can I check the value of a field that is defined as a date field after the date has been selected using javascript. I want to check the date chosen, and if it's not equal to a prededined date, alert the user. Below is the javascript that I threw together that gets me half way there. function TEXT_OnBlur(id, row) { if (id != 'text85') return true; { var vDmeString = portalWnd.DMEPath; vDmeString = 'PROD='strPDL; ...

Hi,  I am trying to get the value from each row that is corresponding to invoices.I have tried using button and image link. but both are not working. Button option when I click first button, getting the correct value from line1. but when i click the second row button, still getting row1 value. Image option using the field id. when click line 1 image, getting value from the last row values. Because, each row, we are comparing all line with same value. My sample code is...

I have asked several people what the difference is other than using the id/name versus the data source, but the answer I get is try the one.  If it doesn't work, try the other.  I put both in an On Blur event.  I noticed that getFormValue gives you the value of the field that you entered/selected while getDataValue gives you the original value.  If I have ABC in the field and change it to XYZ, getFormValue returns XYZ while getDataValue returns ABC.  Is this documen...

I am a complete novice at Design Studio, so I will ask very basic questions. I need to create a push button (or buttons) on the AP90.1 form to call ImageNow. Am I required to create a button for each of the detail rows If not, how do I pass the Invoice Nbr and Voucher Nbr values for rows 2 thru 7 to ImageNow Has anyone succesfully done this I have searched on the forum unsuccessfully.  Thanks in advance.

I am trying to hide a button (Change) on a form before the user has access to the button (I'll show it later if the data indicates the button should be allowed).  I believe the best place to do this will be in the FORM_OnAfterFrameworkInit() method.  Unfortunately, I can not seem to get even an alert('Here'); to work in my form to confirm that this function is even working.  The Add and Change buttons are getting put on the screen so I am sure this step in the form loading process...

How do you change a data field on a form in Design Studio that is hidden but you now want to display it

I've created a variety of data entry screens which will be accessed via a button on another form.  When it opens I want to achieve as close as possible a modal style view.  To that end I what to remove the tabs, search box, content, preference and help buttons.  So far the best I could achieve is to clear the tab area of all bookmarks and hide it when the form is opened.  Does anyone have experience dealing with portal objects and be willing to point me in the right dire...

We would like the ability to add a search button to the attachment screen that you get to from the attachment drill in AP20.1. I can find that that form calls /cgi-lawson/getattachrec.exe but I don't find any way to do this through design studio. Anyone know if this is possible or would this have to be a custom exe

I have many DS forms that have a link to ImageNow behind a button.  I need to change the color of the button or verbiage on button if records exist for data on screen. Ex: RQ10 I have link to requisition documents in ImageNow.  Once users put in Requester ID and Requisition I want to change color of link. I want to do this without opening up WebNow unless the button is pressed. Has anyone scripted this in DS

We currently use two digit batch numbers and we are getting ready to implement a 3digit batch number.  We have a Design Studio screen of the PR35.2 (quick paint), with some of the fields removed.  Is it possible to change the inquiry process to inquire by process level instead of batch number so that if a employee has time under both a two digit batch and three digit batch both batches would appear on the same screen without having to inquire on the batches separately.  Has anyone...

I have added the Web Page component to a portal page and using a direct call works fine.  I however need to be able to change the URL based on the value(s) from another form also on the page.  Basically I've created a sharepoint site with sub directories matching the requisition number.  I want to take people directly to sub folder but in order to do that I have to embedd the requisition number within the URL. Anybody have any ideas on how to do this Thanks Robert

I am trying to create a custom for that will allow a user to change a small subset of Employee fields: Email Address & three specific User Fields. In UI Designer, I created a form with the Email Address, and added a Detail Area control that presents all the User Fields. How can I modify the Detail Area Control to only display specific User Fields, instead of all of them If this is the wrong approach, can you suggest a better way to design what I'm trying to do TIA...ChuckM

Using the many suggestions I received in these forums (thanks David) I have successfully created a custom HR11 form, which includes populating three fields with User Field data retrieved via DME.  Using the portal debug feature and Ctl-Alt-A, I build my first AGS update to update the EMP-EMAIL-ADDRESS field.  But like many who have tried, when I try to update one of the user fields, I get a Transaction complete message, but the field does not get updated.  I s...

We can't get our upload script working. We copied an upload a consultant wrote for us and tweaked it a bit. However, it looks like the writeattach.exe is throwing an error – “Create attachment failed with the following error: Invalid value for User Defined Type: _AUDT=(I).” With the web research I have done, it seems like AUDT=I is valid! We have tried 'I', 'A' and nothing. But we always get the same error message. Attached is the program we have created. Thanks for y...

Has anyone attempted to do a DME call to the L_INDEX table Or any of the 'L_' tables I am able to do a DME call to APINVOICE and get my results but not to the L_INDEX.
