Powerbuiler 9 PFC - pfc_retrieve

[061178]

Hi, I have inherited a user object from w_tabpg_entity and created code in the pfc_retrieve event to retrieve on two retrieval arguments. When I run my code a message is displayed which says that it is expectig 2 retrieval arguments but only got 1. The reason I think is because in the pfc_retrieve event of the parent (w_tabpg_entity) there is code that retrieves on a single retrieval arg. There are other screens in the system which are build in the same way but retrieve successfully on 2 arguments. I can not bypass the code in the parent as it is used in many places and needed. If I ok the error, then the correct data is retrieved when the code in pfc_retrieve of the child is run, but obviously these messages one for each tabpage where the retrieve is run) need to go. Any suggestions would be helpful. Many Thanks. Donna

How do the other screens which do this successfully do it? Have you compared your new window to these?

Hi,

The problem was that it was running the ancestor script first, so I needed a way to override it. It took me a while but to override ancestr script it's a right click - Extend Ancestor Script. which I didn't know existed; I was looking in the code for the override. The other screens didn't have this checked, and now my screen works fine. Thanks for you reply.
