I like these SB+ questions. It lets the rest of us non sb plusers peer into the torture chamber.

I did try creating a brand new screen and it was till failing, so I started changing settings, one at a time. I finally hanged the right one: I had the Write Record (Y/N) set to Y. I changed it o N and all is well. It makes sense since I was using a work record and in he Process After Screen Accept slot I called a program to update the main ile from the changes in the work record. So there is no reason to have the creen write the record. Sorry for taking up everyone's bandwidth. :-) Bruce -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Woodward, Bob ent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 9:14 AM o: U2 Users List ubject: Re: [U2] SB+ screen question i Bruce, Make a brand new screen with just the four WORK fields. If the problem ersists in the new screen then the problem is how you're loading the data nd calling the screen. If the problem does not appear in the new screen hen start adding bit by bit, saving and testing in small steps until you ither start seeing the problem again, or you get the screen completely uilt. It's got to be an assumption you're making somewhere along the line hat coming up from behind and biting you. -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Lunt, Bruce ent: Monday, March 12, 2012 5:14 PM o: 'U2 Users List' ubject: Re: [U2] SB+ screen question Interestingly, it still fails after I remove the process from the field. here is nothing in any field definition to control the logic flow. -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Woodward, Bob ent: Monday, March 12, 2012 3:35 PM o: U2 Users List ubject: Re: [U2] SB+ screen question o theoretically, the one process is what's causing the "skipping" action of he Earned Date field. To test that theory, take it off completely. This hould let the cursor move between the LI# and Earned Date field, line by ine, each time, regardless if you change any of the values or not. After ou prove that it is, in fact, this process that's causing the issue then 'd say our next step is to look at what's happening inside the process. Is t a PROC or a BP program? Maybe we should take this off-list instead of flooding everyone's inboxes.

There is nothing on the LI# or Award fields. The equencing is left to right with no extra processing and they are just @WORK ariables. I tried to move the process from Process After entrty slot to the Validation lot and it behaves a little better but it still skips from line 1 to 2 and o on without stopping at the Earned Date field. -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Woodward, Bob ent: Monday, March 12, 2012 2:15 PM o: U2 Users List ubject: Re: [U2] SB+ screen question o are these MV fields or SV fields? Also, you only have a process-after on he Earned Date? Nothing on the LI# or Award fields? I'm also assuming your equence of prompting in the screen is straight forward, left to right for hese 4 prompts, and you have no extra processes on the DICT entries for hese. You said they are just @WORK variables, right? ----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Lunt, Bruce ent: Monday, March 12, 2012 1:53 PM o: 'U2 Users List' ubject: Re: [U2] SB+ screen question Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. I agree with you - Kevin's book is fantastic! I have een using it for many years and still refer to it when I need guidance. As or the problem: Maybe I am using the wrong processing slot. What I have is omething like this: LI# Award Earned Date Paid Date -- ----- ----------- ----------- 99 xxxxx DD MMM YYYY DD MMM YYYY I have the LI# field as input but do nothing else with it. I have the Award ield as no input; display only. I have the Earned Date field as input with Process After process to determine what to do with the Paid Date. In the rocess I will populate the Paid Date if it is not already there. I will hange the Paid Date to be the same as the Earned Date if the Earned Date as changed and the Paid date was the same as the original Earned Date. If he Paid Date is not the same as the original Earned Date I will leave the aid Date alone. And lastly, the Paid Date field is diplay only. To me, this means that I have to prompt the user for the Earned Date - I annot skip the field until I know if they are wanting to change the field o I then will know what to do with the Paid Date. If they do not change the arned Date then I will leave the Paid Date as it is. I also put a DISP line showing the value of the original Earned Date and the urrent one in the Process After for the Earned Date and it will show orrectly the first time I enter the screen (after I hit enter in the the arned Date field.) but it will show after I enter the LI# field, the next ime I open the screen and skip the Earned Date field.

If you have ccess to a copy of Kevin King's green System Builder book "SB+ Solutions", heck the sections in "Special Processing for Multivalued Fields" starting n page 3-145. Specifically where it talks about the fact that in an ultivalue field, the Process Before the Prompt is only executed one time or the first value, not before each value of the field. This might be here you're having the problem. I love this book, by the way!!! Thanks Kevin!

The data is built into the work record nd then I want to have the user be able to go through the lines one at a ime in order to change a date field. The date field itself will only be ble to be changed when another associated date field is not already resent. I have the screen working pretty well except for something strange hat is happening. That is, I can call the screen up from the menu and when hit enter at the first line it move over to the the date to be modified. ut when I exit the screen and come back into it, the cursor will not move ver to the date but just down to the next line, and the next line again if continue to hit the enter key. It never goes over to the date field, just own a line. When it reaches the bottom of the data it cycles back to line ne and continues to go down the page with each enter key. Now it gets eally interesting. When I exit the screen and then go back into the screen t will work correctly. And if I exit and re-enter it will fail again. It ust toggles between working correctly and not working at all. have tried to debug this by putting in DISP statements into the Process fter Display (the first process is called from here) but I do not see what s causing the screen to react the way that it is. don't know if I have explained it very well but has anybody else had this roblem before and know how to fix it? hanks in advance, ruce ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
