Long story short, I have a custom session with scripting for inserting new records into items-General. This is to keep some mfg sensitive data out of the reach of users who don't need to see it.

Items-General session has a DAL already and we have a ueDLL on tcibd001 table.

When a user inserts a new record from my "custom" session, I would like the signal code, for example, to default to an entry value amongst others. I DON'T want anyone using Items-General to have the default value, just my custom session users. I also don't need to write a record, just preset some values.

I tried putting code into add.set which does assign the value in theory when I debug, but never appears on the screen as a default field value. I tried choice.after, refresh, display, all to no avail.

choice.add.set:
before.choice:
message("before.choice")
tcibd001.csig = "ITR"
|refresh.curr.occ()
|display("tcibd001.csig")


Any suggestions how I may be able to accomplish this ? I though maybe I even need a custom button on my form to fetch some defaults I set but I would need to see some examples to tweak for my needs.


Any help appreciated !

I found a solution with a little more time.

in choice.add.set I set a variable 'ret' to 1

in before.display.object, I check for value = 1 and then set up fields to the values I want, proceed to set ret back to 0 and exit my if stmt.

Seems to work just fine.
