I shouldn’t claim that this bug appears in every SQR program written for the Peoplesoft environment. It’s not even in every SQR program that takes run control parameters. But I bet it is in most of them. The Peoplesoft Process...
Read MoreLast week we discussed finding the best Peoplesoft page, and the menu path to that page, for viewing and updating a particular database table. We have a similar need to find the menu path to the run control page for a...
Read MoreWhen I discuss data with my colleagues in the Human Resources and Payroll departments, we speak different languages. I talk about tables and columns. They talk about menus, tabs, and pages. “You need to change EEO4CODE...
