Step 3. Make the Sections Dropdown list dynamic

In this step you will define a new response WebRoutine which the AJAX enabled Dynamic Select box for sections will invoke.
1.  Select the Source tab.
2.  Create a new response WebRoutine, that will be invoked by the sections dynamic select box when DEPTMENT changes. The requirements for this WebRoutine are:

• The WebRoutine statement must have a Response() keyword with a value of *JSON
• A web_map for input, field DEPTMENT
• A web_map for output of the list SectDD, defined as a *JSON list
• Invoke the buildDD2 method routine passing DEPTMENT and SECTION

Your code should look like the following:
WebRoutine Name(USectDD) Response(*JSON) Web_Map For(*input) Fields(#deptment) Web_Map For(*output) Fields((#sectdd *JSON)) #com_owner.buildDD2 I_Dept(#deptment) I_Sect(#section) Endroutine
3.  Compile your WAM.
4.  Open WebRoutine Details in the Design view.
5.  Select the Section's dynamic select box and set up additional properties as follows:

 |
6.  Set the updateFieldsToSubmit property by selecting the Value column and clicking on the Ellipsis button to open the Design of… property's dialog.
a.  Select a field Name of DEPTMENT
b.  For Value, enter DEPTMENT.
c.  Select the Field radio button.

7.  Click OK to close the dialog.
8     Save your WAM.
9.  Test your WAM by running the Begin webroutine. You should now be able to select a new department and notice that the sections dropdown list is refreshed.
