Jack, One other variation... Use the Plugin server. Take a look at the ARFPerl plugin. That might be a "best" solution for your total needs too. ( It would avoid ARSPerl, a temp "Results" form/record and might even make what your Perl script is doing faster. Well, maybe.)

Jack, There is a limitation, but I am not sure what the value is at the moment. As a suggestion I would think about ARSPerl or the ARS Java API as a better approach for how this can be done. Still call the script via a $PROCESS$ call, but have the script do an ARS submit and return the Entry ID for the row that contains the "response" from the script. Then do a set field action to get the result from the "Result" form into the current transaction. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
