At the Supplier Window, using a subroutine "Supplier_Select" at the

F2 hook. The routine performs a select of supplier records and then writes the record keys to the popup record. It then uses a catalyst call to pull up the popup which in turn brings up multi-selection popup by a catalyst call. Problem: When the values are returned to

the Key prompt record in the window it reflects the Record Key values

from the popup selection delimited by "2" multi-value symbol. The

code includes a convert @VM to @FM in @ANS. Any suggestions on how

to properly return the popup values to create a browse window would be appreciated. If one value is selected it works. PS: Originally the

routine was called from a menu and after the popup selection values

were returned a catalyst call was made to pull up the window. This

worked well to create the browse window, but resulted in a hung window

effect when the window was subsequently called and higher menus or windows are called. Trying the

above approach because it is simpler and avoids the multiple window

problems. TIA for the help, Jim

Jim,

Seems like the problem is where you are sending the results of your popup call. By leaving them in @ANS they return to the field where your F2 process is called. If you think about it, you don't actually want to pass back multiple values to the Key Field, you want to pass back multiple KEYS to the WINDOW.

One way to do this is as follows. After your program has called

CATALYST to run the popup, you tell the window processor to turn it into a Browse List :

BROWSE.NEXT=@ANS

NEW.BROWSE =1

RESET =5

Note with using this that you don't need to convert the @vm's to @fm's. The window processor wants Browse lists to be @vm delimited.

Finally, one other suggestion. DO you actually have to write the results of the first search to the popup ? It may be a situation where you can make the popup a 'T'able mode popup, and pass the keys to it by putting them into a current select list :

CALL MAKE.LIST(0,KEYS,'','')

CALL CATALYST('P','POPUPS*YOUR POPUP')   etc.

Hope that helps !

Warren Thank you the help. It worked great except for using the

table mode popup. I am using a select on the supplier name to pull

up only those records containing a keyword entered into a collector window. When I use the table mode popup it would pull up every record in the table. Am I missing something on this aspect? Thanks again,

Jim
