Hi,
Following is my map details:
1. Enter the Dataset name
2. Select any one client of the 16 options.
3. Select an option either to validate the input or just take a backup.

I am facing the situation where the client value is getting reset on below condition:
I enter the correct Date name.
I enter only one client but do not select the option.
SO i get an "ERROR select an option".

After coming to same screen I enter option but this time I am getting "SELECT the client". I am unable to figure out why the client option is getting reset.

Regards,
Krunal Bafna

Hi Krunal,
Foremost, it is adviced not to have your mobile numbers posted in public forums.

Is this a new program coded by you ? or is this some existing code ? Since you are not aware of what is happenning to the code, am going to assume its all already existing functionality that is availble in your location. Get in touch with your collegues/seniors on how to use the particular screen and what you need to type in to make it work..

Okay.. Time to dig in then ..

Queries / Observations .. 1. In your map details, you mentioned three steps out of which the client related is only about selecting only one option out of the sixteen. Later you mention "enter only one client but do not select the option." .. Basically the statements do not match.

2. Please explain this statement better .. Since you have re-entered the screen (assuming by typing the transaction again), all options most probably would be reset. Now you have 'entered the option' - and geting an error message - This should purely be cozt you have coded in that way in your program. What inputs are you really expecting from any one of us ?

Hi,
I have entered the dataset name and selected one of the 16 clients.
and did not select the option "to sort the input or to copy the input file"

I get an error on the screen : Select either of the option.

Now i select the option to sort the input. now as per the understanding the job should be submitted as the screen has:
1. Dataset name
2. one of the 16 cleint selected
3. Option to do processing of file.

But the error is thrown that select the client. I am not able to get why the value is getting as LOW VALUE when i xped for the client part.

krunalbafna, you need to pay attention to what people tell you. Enrico told you, 17 minutes before your post, that you need to set the MDT on the fields you want to keep -- otherwise, since their values did not change they will not be sent to your program a second time.

I did what enricho has suggested me.
i had query that if my input dataset name what i entered previously is correct read why the issue with getting the client option when i have selected first time.

Do your message suggests I have to manually set the MDT.

Please do no blame unless I am doing wrong Robert.

Hello,

If you continue to refuse (or remain unable) to read/understand what you are provided, it is going to be a long year for you. . .

Yes. And is is much more than a suggestion - as you have seen, without setting the MDT, what you want does not happen.

Failure to make provided changes is one way of doing wrong. . .

Hi,
The problem got resolved.
The issue was FSET being provided in ATTRIB parameter was in Lower case.
I changed to Upper case and it started working
