WAM050 – A Section Maintenance Application
This simple logic could be incorporated into WAM iiiSecMaint, however, you will instead create a new WAM to illustrate building a multi-WAM application.
1. Review the following web page:
- The AutoComplete weblet will support the department code input field
- All other fields will be entered
- A New button will be added to the Begin page for iiiSecMaint to call iiiSecAdd.
- The Add Section WAM will return to Section Maintenance Begin WebRoutine when a section is successfully added.
- Section Maintenance Begin WebRoutine will then list the sections for the department for which a section was added.
2. Create a new WAM iiiSecAdd– Add Section using Layout Weblet iiilay01. Consider what common definitions and logic you could copy from iiiSecMaint. What WEB_MAPs will be required in the 'AddSect' WebRoutine?
3. Create a basic outline for your WAM based on the following pseudo code
- Define a work field DEPT_IN based on DEPTMENT
- Define a Group_by of all fields for the Section table. All fields should be input capable
- Map field STDRENTRY for *both, as a *hidden field
- Define a WebRoutine "AddSect"
- Map field DEPT_IN for *both
- Map group_by for Section fields for *both, all fields should be input capable. DEPTMENT should be a hidden field
- End routine
Your code should now look like this:
Function Options(DIRECT) Begin_Com Role(*EXTENDS #PRIM_WAM) Layoutweblet('iiilay01')Define #DEPT_IN Reffld(#DEPTMENT)Group_By Name(#SECT_DETL) Fields((#DEPTMENT *hidden) #SECTION #SECDESC #SECADDR1 #SECADDR2 #SECADDR3 #SECPCODE #SECPHBUS) Web_Map For(BOTH) Fields((#STDRENTRY *HIDDEN)) WebRoutine Name(AddSect) Desc('Add Section') Web_Map For(BOTH) Fields(#Dept_In #SECT_DETL) --------------------------- Add section logic goes here --------------------------- Endroutine End_Com
