RESOLVED: Issue with Menu selection values
Fred, Thanks. This was the issue. I was trying to do the entire calculation within 1 set fields action. When I broke up the actions into multiple set fields actions, the AL worked correctly on the Mid Tier. It would be interesting to know from the guru's as to why this is. Is it a bug or some sort of design that I'm not seeing. The fact that it works in the WUT and not the MT leads me to believe it's a java issue? Thanks again Fred.

If you are using only 1 action try breaking it up into 2 separate actions.

Re: Issue with Menu selection values
Are you setting the integer and doing the addition in the same AL Set Fields action or are you setting the integer from the selection field and then in another action doing the addition? If you are using only 1 action try breaking it up into 2 separate actions.
