    It's been awhile since I have had to build an javascript AGS call for inquiry, and I am doing one to return fields from the online screen, but I can't quite get the code/syntax to get the return fields on the inquiry. (I have no problem doing an ADD or CHANGE with AGS).

    Does anyone have a quick example of a javascript call for AGS say for the CU01, or the HR11 for example? Or any other online screen? I know there are other pre-built AGS inquiry calls especially for ESS but really I just need a quick example that I can use to build one fairly quickly.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

      Example below calls PA02 and gets the value of Annual Hours and Pay Frequencey based on position.

      var s = portalWnd.AGSPath;
      s += "?_PDL=";
      s += portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("productline");

      s += "&_TKN=PA02.1&_EVT=ADD&_LFN=ALL&_RTN=DATA&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=N";
      s += "&POS-COMPANY=" + vCompany;
      s += "&POS-POSITION=" + vPosition;
      // s += "&POS-EFFECT-DATE=00000000";
      s += "&POS-EFFECT-DATE=" + vEffDate;

      s += "&_OUT=XML&_EOT=TRUE";

      var sAGSInfo = portalWnd.httpRequest(s);
      if (!sAGSInfo || sAGSInfo.status)
      {
      vError = "Y";
      return false;
      }


      var sFldNbr = sAGSInfo.selectSingleNode("//FldNbr").text;
      var sMsgNbr = sAGSInfo.selectSingleNode("//MsgNbr").text;
      var sMessage = sAGSInfo.selectSingleNode("//Message").text;

      if (sMsgNbr == 0)
      {
      // alert("PA02.1 " + sMessage + " " + sFldNbr);
      }
      else
      {
      alert("PA02.1 failed for position:" + vPosition + " " + sMessage + " " + sFldNbr);
      vError = "Y";
      return false;
      }

      vAnnualHours = sAGSInfo.selectSingleNode("//POS-ANNUAL-HOURS").text;
      vPayFrequency = sAGSInfo.selectSingleNode("//POS-PAY-FREQUENCY").text;

          Ragu..
          What is the additional script source required for this in the html/javascript?

          I have received the message, that 'portalWnd is undefined'.

          I have common.js, commonHTTP.js, data.js and transaction.js in the header but portalWnd is not in there I don't think?

            Sorry Roger. This is from within Design Studio. Not sure how it is done outside D/S.
