AssignWIP

Use this procedure/function to assign the work-in-process and its associated data to a different user ID.

Syntax

AssignWIP (UserID)

Parameter

Description

UserID

Enter a valid user ID.

The system returns success if no error occurred during the process, otherwise a failure.

This procedure assigns the current work-in-process (form set) to a new user ID in the WIP data base, and writes a comment to the AFELOG file that it was assigned to a new user ID.

This procedure performs the same operation as the WIP, Assign option. This procedure only works with the Entry module and does not work with the data entry mode of Studio.

Example

Here is an example:

Procedure

Result

Explanation

AssignWIP (MVV)

User ID for the work-in-process is changed to MVV, the form set is saved in the WIP directory, and you return to the main menu.

The user ID in the WIP database is set to MVV for the current WIP.

AssignWIP ( )

The Assign window appears. Use this window to make the assignment.

If you omit the user ID, the system instead displays the Assign window, just as if you had selected the Formset, Assign Document option.
