Just off hand ... Is your Temp ID field at least 38 characters big? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwayne Martin Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:21 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Creating subfile records from list on submit
Thank you, Joe and Frederick ! I am trying the "Application-Generate-GUID" method. My Filter does a "Set Fields" that sets a "Temp ID" field to: $PROCESS$ Application-Generate-GUID I get, "**** Error while performing filter action: Error 38" I couldn't find anything about Error 38 in the BMC Knowledge Base. I tried putting quotes around "Application-Generate-GUID" even tho I knew that was wrong, but got the same error. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
