I am trying to use Dataload Classic (version 4.3.6.0) to populate the non-catalog request template form under the Internet Procurement Catalog Administration responsibility within Oracle 11i.

I am using the 'TAB' command after entering the Category code of say '1234' but this does not seem to move the cursor. Is there another command which could be used or is this an issue with the Classic version.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Ann

Ann,

I am not familiar with the form in question, but I think that you might want to take another look at the "Sending Data" section http://www.dataload.net/help/macro/sendingdata.htm and the "Sending Keystrokes" section http://www.dataload.net/help/macro/keystrokes.htm of the User Guide.

If the Category Code is in a LOV, for example, it may be that you have to use a "keystroke" to send the value. So, instead of having '1234' in the cell, try '\1234' and remember that after sending keystrokes, you have to do a 'TAB'. Sending data is faster than sending keystrokes, so send data whenever you can, and send keystrokes when data does not work.

Let us all know how you get on, and if you are still having problems, I'll try to get you over them as best I can.

HTH

Web forms are a lot trickier. But if you can tab using the keyboard then a dataload tab should work also. To check if dataload is successfully sending a tab trying the same exercise on the requisition form (or PO form for that matter).

Hi David

Thanks for you help on this. I have used the keystroke element on the category field and this is accepted. However, now when the template has been saved, there is a 'OK' button that is required to be clicked on using the mouse. I have been through the Dataload help and cannot find an alternative solution to using the *ML command which does not appear to work within the Web Form.

Ann,

Glad I could help.

Your O.K. Button, can you do it manually with ALT+O? If so, then you need the DataLoad command *AO. Please refer to http://www.dataload.net/help/macro/commands.htm, especially Note 2.

As for the *ML command, please read the topic "Problem with Load into Bank --> Bank Account in AP", where I explained how to build a *ML command that works.

Again, HTH
