Auto confirmation - Facts7.5 to Facts7.7 - pre-populate first three-level entry prompt

skyler-williams

We have a mod in Facts7.5 that allows the user to submit a list of orders for which to confirm and print invoices. It works by creating a list of orders in AUTO_X0$ and passing it to SOE320, where modifications cause prompts to be skipped and the orders are all confirmed and printed, returning to the menu when AUTO_X0$ is depleted.

Does anybody know how I can pre-populate the first main screen three-level entry prompt in Facts7.7? It doesn't seem to follow any of the old rules. I can provide details how t was done in facts7.5, but am lost trying to apply a similar mod to Facts7.7

I found that the answer lies in trapping calls to SMC905 from within SME999. Pretty slick, but it takes a bit of analysis to figure out just how to tweak the code.
First, preset SHFILE.CUST_NUM$ in custom SET_SORSOH_DEFAULTS, meta data SMENTY, SOE510, CONFIRMATION. Then, in the SME999 trap,. set SHFILE.DOC_NUM$ to SHFILE.CUST_NUM$. There are some other things to do, set flags, check flags,set the correct GOT_CTL values, determine end of list so as to set GOT_CTL to _DONE_CTL , etc. so that it returns to the menu when done, etc. but that's the basic jist or it.
