This WAM will use the new fields that you have just created. It will also build on the previous exercise, by enabling session management and saving a working list of each set of data entered.

This WAM will operate as follows:

  • Executes WebRoutine begin to start session management and transfers to the select WebRoutine.
  • The select WebRoutine requests input of an employee number. The showpage WebRoutine is invoked via a push button.
  • The select WebRoutine also supports a push button to clear the saved list (SAVLIST).
  • The select WebRoutine includes a push button to invoke the showlist WebRoutine.
  • The showpage WebRoutine fetches employee data and displays all fields (except employee number) for input
  • A Save button invokes the showpage WebRoutine to save the data to the working list SAVLIST and transfers back to the select WebRoutine.
  • The showlist WebRoutine loads the saved list (SAVLIST) into the list EMPLIST and displays this list.


  1. Create a new WAM:

         Name: iiiEnhancedUI
         Description: Enhancing the Interface
         Layout weblet: iiilay01

  2. Create the following four WebRoutines:
         * Start session and transfer to select
         Webroutine Name(begin) Onentry(*sessionstatus_none)
         Endroutine

         * Request an employee number
         Webroutine Name(select) Desc('Select an Employee')
         Endroutine

         * Fetch employee and accept input
         Webroutine Name(showpage) Desc('Enter employee details')
         Endroutine

         * Display the saved working list
         Webroutine Name(showlist) Desc('Saved list of employee data')
         Endroutine

  3. Note that the begin WebRoutine has an onentry() keyword of *sessionstatus_none. This will be the first WebRoutine executed to start session management.
    Use the F7 key to display the WAM properties on the Details tab and enable session management:
