'Didn't see this answered, so I'll try to offer some help. I don't
understand some of what you describe, though:
What do you mean "would like to set some compatible Operating System" and
"...calls only the OS"?
Is this a multiple record software configuration? In other words, for each
software product/application, you have a record for each compatible OS?
Are you trying to display each OS that the currently-displayed application
is compatible with? Or are you trying to display all applications
compatible with the current;y-displayed OS? If either of these is the
case, you may want to consider a table field, whose qualification is
appropriate for either of the two, and $Request ID$ != 'Request ID' (i.e.
don't include currently-displayed record).
In case I'm off base, I'll just focus on your specific question:
Why doesn't
Qualification
$SoftwareRequestID$= 'RequestID'
work?
If the record has been saved, Request ID exists. What's the value of
$SoftwareRequestID$ when you click the menu? If $NULL$, it could never
match (no records can exist without Request ID). Active Link logging
should give you some insight.
Doesn't make sense that you'd need to do a Set Fields from the database on
matching Request ID - the data is available in current transaction.
Nothing needs to be set. I'd understand it (sort of) the other way around
- matching application or OS other than current Request ID ($Request ID !=
'Request ID')

Hi all,
I have a question concerning the set field action. I am currently
developping a Software Catalogue and part of this catalogue is the
compatible OS and application pre-reqs. All the application and OS are
store in the same form called Software-Catalogue.
For each application, I would like to set some compatible Operating System.
I am using a Menu which calls only the OS. When I click on the Menu I fire
an active link to get the RequestID.
I am always receiving an error when I do a query from my Software-Catalogue
form to the same form(Software-Catalogue). Since all my products(OS +
Application) are in the same form I need to do:
Set Field
Form : Software-Catalogue
Qualification
$SoftwareRequestID$= 'RequestID'
The error msg is the following one:
"No item matches active link conditions; this operation has been defined so
that no match generates an error. (ARERR 1602)"
I know that the RequestID I am looking for exist because I can see it on
the form and when I do a manual search I find it. What is the problem then?
There is no way to do a query on the same form from which the event starts?
