Subject: PROBLEM WITH ENTERING AN EQUIPMENT REQUEST

Category: 
  - Routine

Description: 
============

 This patch addresses 3 issues. The first issue is when using the option
 Enter New Equipment Requests [PRCN NX NEW], only one replacement item 
 is saved to the record even when a user adds more than one. The second 
 issue is an undefined error occurring when a user edited the replacement
 information and then returned to the LINE ITEM NUMBER prompt. The third
 issue concerns an undefined error occurring when requests are processed
 in the option Create 2237 (PPM) [PRCN NX PPM 2237].

 NOIS/PROBLEM OVERVIEW
 -------------
  
 1. NAS-0598-31587   Problem with entering an equip request
  
    Problem:
    --------
    Site reported that when using the option Enter New Equipment
    Request [PRCN NX NEW]and entering more than one line item, only 
    the replacement item information from the last line item was saved
    to the record even though he entered replacement information for 
    all the line items. The problem can be seen when the record is 
    reviewed using either the option Display/Print Equipment Requests
    (Requestor) [PRCN NX DISPLAY], or using a FileMan Inquiry to the
    Turn In Request file (File 413.1).
     
    Resolution:
    -----------
    Modified routines PRCNREQE and PRCNREQN so that the replacement 
    information is not overwritten in the database and it displays
    on the report correctly.
  
 2. A problem discovered by the developer
  
    Problem: 
    --------
    An undefined error was occurring at MR^DIE:1 when editing the replacement
    information and then returned to the LINE ITEM NUMBER prompt. If a new 
    line item is entered at the prompt, the error occurs.
  
    Resolution:
    -----------
    The variable is newed in the routine to avoid the undefined error.
  
 3. LEX-0203-41613   ITEMS NOT TRANSFERRING FROM EQUIP/TURN-IN
  
    Problem:
    --------
    A site reported that an error was occurring at L2+4^PRCN2237:1.
    when the request was processed under the option Create 2237 (PPM) [PRCN
    NX PPM 2237]. If a line item is deleted after the request has
    been created and the line item numbers left on the request are not in
    sequence, an error occurs.
  
    Resolution:
    -----------
    Modified routine PRCN2237 to handle the line item numbers left on the
    request if they are out of order so a user will no longer receive the
    undefined error.
