I am trying to create a simple form where it will submit a job based on the user checking a checkbox. It doesn't give an error - it just doesn't work. I don't know if it's in the variable being set - or what. I got the idea from a Lawson KB article, but can't seem to get it to work. Here is my code: function test1() { var vCheck1 = lawForm.getFormValue('check1'); var vJob1 = '/cgi-lawson/jobrun.exeFUNC=run&USER=>//>&JOB=WH130&OUT=javascript'; if (vCheck1 == 'Y...

I have a user who would like to have all fields cleared after she does a Match in Ap20.1. Currently all fields clear successfully on a custom AP20.1 except for the Vendor field.

I am creating a custom AP20.2 screen to intergrate with ImageNow's Internet Explorer Learn applet. I want to be able to pull the vendor name from the AP20.2 screen into the Imagenow index. I have no problem with the co, vendor, invocie and invoice date because the learn mode can capture them as id = _f6 customid=text1. Learn mode cannot see the vendor number because it is an out field. The learnmode can only see fields such as id_f9, form5, TF0-06, DTO28, and it can see text placed on a...

I'm fairly new to Javascript. I've got several reference books etc that I use when I get stuck. Part of my problem though is knowing the 'Lawson hooks' into many of the javascript commands. For example in the last August newsletter the following was posted: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ copy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Version 8: You're creating a Lawson Design Studio page, and want to access some fields from a user's WEBUSER (RD30) record. How do you do it Using JavaS...

I'm doing a DME call to retrieve the default location for a buyer. I want to then default that in PO20. I've got the DME working correctly, but am have problem figuring out which form event to use that will allow me to 'display' the value using lawForm.setValue. I want to display this as the default value prior to them entering any data on the form. One thought was to use the 'on blur' for the first field on the form they are required to enter Any other suggestions to try

Has anyone sent an email using script from within a form I know the code for normally sending an email would be something like: document.forms[0].action = 'mailto:' document.forms[0].recipient.value 'subject=' document.forms[0].subject.value; But can I do that in a form

I would like to perform some calcs on the value of the numbers shown under Amount, the credit and debit amounts displayed on the GL90. I have tried several ways, but I am unable to get any data from these fields. I've tried retreiving the values by field Nbr, Name, Data Src, using the lawForm.getDataValueById, and lawForm.getDataValue, and nothing. I can do a simple alert in certain fields, but none that are in the object that displays the retreived data. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to...

Is there a way to change the sorting order of the data displayed on a form like PA43 - I want the records within a requisition to sort by Names, not applicant numbers... Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem I'm working on that maybe this might be the solution. The problem is you can not query or display comments (which are stored as attachments in H_Pxxx files) with Portal forms - only by drilling down. Lawson support pointed me to a utility getattachrec call. I don't know though is that can be called from within javascript in Design Studio. Has anyone used this utility

I made a change to the file GLADDRESS, and added a fourth user field that I would like to use on the GL20. I did the usual dbdef, blddbdict, and dbreorg. The new field is in GLADDESS, field name (OPTFIELD4), and now I would like to add it to the form GL20 using design studio. I usually start from scratch when creating new forms, but this time, I would just like to add this one field. When I go to the GL20, add a new text box, and look for the new field I added, it is not there. Is this the prope...

I don't have much experience with Design Studio and in need of help. I'm trying to add a field to display the grand total of a purchase order. On the available data src, there is no field for grand total, so I will have to add one using calculation of existing field values. I want the total to display, of course, after a successful inquiry. I would like to use the 'Inquire' button to trigger the calculation - how do I go about doing it

Has anyone done any kind of IDA call from within Design Studio I'm currently on 8.0.3 Portal and have found the following happens when doing a call. The call works fine, except when returning from the call, the top row of 'buttons' (Add, Change, Inquire, etc) have all dissapeared. If you do a simple drill in the normal way of right clicking in a field it works ok, but on any form, any type of ida call does this. Lawson has been able to duplicate it with my code - but has assigned it a low prior...
