Profound Logic Forums

I'm experiencing a problem where the following logic works for some and not others. At first I thought it was a browser issue, but we're all on the same version of I.E. 8. I've written a program that displays documents in a subfile with virtual subfolders. Whenever a subfolder is clicked the documents within that folder is displayed. I'm using the following java script to pass the subfile row number the RPG program. However, when I execute the java script subfile row field S1Row is populated. When the script is executed by someone else it does not work. Please advise.

var nameId = this.id; var row = nameId.split(".")[1]; var docId = "S1OBJLNK." + row; var url = get(docId); var otype = "S1OBJTYP." + row; var typval = get(otype); changeElementValue("S1Row",row); if (typval != 'FLD') {window.open(url, "newin");} pui.click();

I'm not sure why this wouldn't work without detailed debugging, but I'm wondering if this could be done in a simpler way...

It looks like this script is doing two things:

1. If the object type is not 'FLD', it will pop open a browser window to the object name.

2. It also attempts to set the row number value to a field with id "S1Row".

I gather that #2 is what is failing for you. Rather than populating this with JavaScript, have you tried simply binding the field S1ROW to the subfile's "cursor record number" property?

If you do this, you'll get the RRN of the subfile record that was clicked when the screen is submitted. If no subfile record number was clicked on when the screen was submitted it will be set to zero.

The program can then CHAIN to the subfile to get the record.

Does this help?

That worked. Thanks.
