Title: PO-A Entry issue
Post by gtladmin on 12/15/10 at 15:23:15

One user is entering a PO, and it got stuck after he added the part # to a line item, just sat there flickering. I got him out of that and we went back into Evo. He said there was an error that came up but he didn't print screen it. I said let's try to replicate. We were able to replicate (error is below). Seems to occur when he enters a part # and then uses TAB instead of enter to move to the next field. We tried a couple of times always using enter and got no error. Only when we used tab did the error come up.

FYI - I was unable to replicate this on my system so far. So no idea what the cause is. The error he's getting is
“FATAL ERR – FILE:wbklookup.src Line: 1725 The parentheses are unbalanced in this expression: ( “All”..

Something corrupted in his local setup, perhaps?

We would run into the same error in some of of our part numbers that had the symbol for inches (quotation mark) in the part number in the newer P/O programs. WE went back to the old programs to avoid this and haven't tried the new programs since the last update. It might be fixed now.

Unfortunately, the only fix is to remove quotation marks from part numbers. We have looked for alternative approaches but the compiler uses the single and double quote marks as delimiters.

you can remove the quotation marks

UPDATE BKICMSTR SET BKIC_PROD_DESC = REPLACE(BKIC_PROD_DESC,'"','')

The problem is not the Description, it is the quotes in the actual part number itself and that requires changing a whole lot of other files to keep history intact. You need to use SM-J-L.
