From Menus (G901), choose Revisions
A menu selection can be set up to submit a World Writer Version or to display a World Writer Versions List.
When you add a World Writer version as a menu selection, the version is submitted to batch. If the version is set to Prompt for Data Selections, the Data Selection screen is displayed before it is submitted. This ensures that the criteria can be reviewed and changed.
You can add a World Writer Group as a menu selection. The World Writer menu is set up to take the user to a list of versions related to that Group. Each menu selection on G82 represents a different group of versions.
A World Writer version can be set up in a Job Stream so that it is one of several jobs that are submitted, one at a time, when the menu selection is taken.
More information on Menu Revisions setup can be found in the JD Edwards World Technical Foundation Guide.
To submit a version from a menu
Inquire on the Menu ID and navigate to the Selection where you want to add the version.
Enter the Description that will appear next to the selection number.
Enter the fields as indicated below:
Job to Execute = J82001
Batch = 1
Option Code = 1 or 2 *see chart below
Option Key = World Writer Group ID
Version = World Writer Version Name
When the menu selection is taken, what happens is determined by value in the Prompt for Data Selection field See Chapter 5, "Using Additional Parameters" of the version.
If Prompt for Data Selections is blank or N, the version is submitted automatically to batch.
If Prompt for Data Selection is Y, the Data Selection screen is presented to the user. The user can make changes on the screen, if necessary. This ensures that record selection is reviewed before the version is submitted. When the enter key is pressed, the changes are saved and version is submitted to batch with the new selection criteria.
Note:
The User Exclusive field for the version must be either 0 or 1 in order for Prompt for Data Selections to be available.The Option Code determines what happens when the Menu Selection and F18 are pressed. The table below is for World Writer versions only:
| Option Code | Result of pressing F18 |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prompt for Data Selection = Y. The Data Selection screen displays, version is not submitted to batch. |
| 1 | Prompt for Data Selection = blank or N = function invalid |
| 2 | Version List is displayed, starting with the version indicated on Menu Revisions. |
| Blank, 3, 4 | F18 locked out. Invalid Selection or Security Violation error message received. |
To display a World Writer version list from a menu
Inquire on the Menu ID and navigate to the Selection where you want to add the version list.
Enter the Description that will appear next to the selection number.
Enter the fields as indicated below.
Job to Execute = J82000
Batch = 0
Option Code = 1
Option Key = World Writer Group ID
Version = Leave blank or enter a version name.
If blank, the entire version list is displayed. If a version name is entered, the list is displayed starting with that version.
To set up a World Writer version on a Job Stream menu
A job stream menu (%) is used to submit multiple jobs by taking a single menu selection. See more information in the JD Edwards World Technical Foundation Guide.
Setting up job stream menus is a two-step process.
Create a % menu containing the jobs you want to submit as a group. For a World Writer version, complete the following fields:
Job to Execute = J82001
Batch = 1
Option Code = 2
Option Key = World Writer Group ID
Version = World Writer Version name
Add the % menu to an existing menu selection. Complete the following fields:
Job to Execute = J81900
Batch = 1
Option Code = 2
Option Key = % menu name
Version = ZJDE0001
Note:
Versions placed on a Job Stream menu will be submitted directly. The system ignores Prompt for Data Selections since user interaction is required.
