The third method that you describe is what I have been hoping to get. That
would make building applications in Integrator more flexible.

There are 2 ways you would collect additional information during order 
entry.  One would be to use the existing user fields.  Client applications 
allow you to display and maintain user fields.  They can be placed on 
create prompts or cards within the cardfile.  The second way is to create 
an extension to the appropriate object using Integrator.  The extension 
fields can also be placed on create prompts or cards.  The user fields or 
extension fields are then passed to the server with the transaction.  You 
could then use them for any follow-on processing.

We are considering a third way for R7.  It would be to add a maintainable 
logical field in Integrator.  This field would not exist in the database 
but would be passed to the server with the transaction.

Hope this helps.

Konrad,

We are using CSM for order entry and maintenance.  It's working fine for 
us, especially after we upgraded our iSeries from a 720 to a 270 server 
model, BUT we are not using Pick-Pack-and-Ship.  We use the Offline 
Shipping Enhancement.  We are using CSM user exits, but only for order 
entry.  I am under the undertanding that the user exits aren't executed in 

the middle of processing, only after you hit the "update" or "post" or 
"create" buttons.

That required that we change how we process the orders somewhat, (we also 
used UMBCOD1R and such to get information in mid-order entry in green 
screen processing) but we had already developed most of the logic to 
handle COM_Net orders, which are also posted in a "batch" type mode, 
loaded through off-line entry.  CSM uses the user exits, but the logic 
must be changed to handle batch mode - no screen handling is available.  I 

have no idea if you can get external code to execute to retrieve 
information for the screens.

This sounds like a good question for Paragon SI.

Anyone from the user base using CSM to do much other than inquiry?
None of the shipment logic seems in place from availability to promise
on down (or up) depending on your view.

And...user exits. We have the Vertex add on, when entering an order
green screen the select a geocode screen pops up. The same user
exit runs under CSM but gets a device not found error when it tries
to acquire the correct geocode. How is it possible to ask for and
receive info out of the COM user exits under the client architecture?

Thanks!
