Issue/Symptom/Question

Tried to use the EMP table driven interface, Certification Detail Record to update the Certification Code for an employee, but the record was not updated

There was no error indicating that there was a problem with this type of additional record - Penta simply did not change the record.

Environment

Interface an HR record to update Cert_cd

Version 20.3, IF module, table driven EMP file

Resolution/Fix/Answer

Found that the problem was that user was trying to UPDATE a key field, rather than ADD a new record with the new Certification Code.

Unable to update a key field;  The Cert_cd is the defining record identifier, and cannot be updated - you must add a new record.

Activity Code should be 'A', instead of 'U' in this type of new record entry

Cause 

Wrong Activity Code.
