WAM035 - An Employee Update WAM

Important Observations

• Fields defined in a WEB_MAP will be input capable unless the field has an *output attribute

• The field STDRENTRY is the default field returned by many weblets such as a hyperlink, a check box or a radio button.

• Push buttons are may return a number of fields via the submitExtraFields property. You must use the Ellipsis button for this property and set up the field(s) and values(s) to be returned in the Design of… dialog. Always specify the on_click_wrname property before using the Design of… dialog.

• WebRoutines often use a CASE loop for field STDRENTRY to handle different execution logic.
