Fred, Thanks. This was the issue. I was trying to do the entire calculation within 1 set fields action. When I broke up the actions into multiple set fields actions, the AL worked correctly on the Mid Tier.
It would be interesting to know from the guru's as to why this is. Is it a bug or some sort of design that I'm not seeing. The fact that it works in the WUT and not the MT leads me to believe it's a java issue? Thanks again Fred. Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.

If you are using only 1 action try breaking it up into 2 separate actions.

What would be the alternate? Would I have to create active links that translate the alias value to a number then using an AL guide? Anyone else have any ideas?

The alias value is a word and each has a corresponding Selection value and ID which is a number. So High,Med,Low alias values would be 3,2,1 respectively. I have an active link on a button which then sets an Integer field with the number value and adding the values from each selection drop down. In the WUT, I have no issues. However, using the mid tier, I get an error: Data types are not appropriate for arithmetic operation (ARERR 9339) Should I be using a different field instead of an integer?
