HI Tom,

thank you so much for your response.  It makes perfect sense!   Of course, now I need to complicate it.   The interactive report query includes VESSEL_ID and SUPPLIER_VESSEL_ID.   It is the VESSEL_ID which is passed back to P110, but it is the #SUPPLIER_VESSEL_ID# which will contain the 999999.

I have modified the function:

<script language="JavaScript">

function closeMe(pVessel,psupplierVesselId){

    if (psupplierVesselId !=="999999"||(psupplierVesselId==="999999" && confirm("selecting this vessel may violate federal rul.  Proceed?"))) {

       //vessel is not 999999

       //OR vessel is 999999 and user wants to proceed

      window.parent.$(window.parent.document).apex_model_page('close',pVessel);

    };

  };

</script>

#VESSEL_ID# has url:

javascript:closeMe("#VESSEL_ID#","#SUPPLIER_VESSEL_ID#");

Unfortunately, nothing happens...either for UNKNOWN vessel or any other vessel.  I am certain it is a syntax, but not clear where. 

I also wanted to add one more condition, that this warning should only popup if the global variable G_ISSUING_AGENCY = '0016', otherwise, it is fine to select UNKNOW.

thanks again!  this is really helpful.

ok.  I think I may partially have the solution.

the URL should have single quotes, not double.   and instead of if psupplierVesselId === 999999 in function, I use psupplierVesselId ==

javascript: closeMe('#VESSEL_ID#','#SUPPLIER_VESSEL_ID#';

now, the message does appear when SUPPLIER_VESSEL_ID appears, however, nothing happens when I select OK or CANCEL.

if I select a vessel other than UNKNOWN, nothing appears....so the window does not close and does not pass the value of P114_VESSEL_ID to P110_VESSEL_ID.   But I am getting closer....now just need to tie in the condition for G_ISSUING_AGENCY.

any help appreciated!

"REMINDER FOR FEDERAL DEALERS:

When reporting a product (e.g.worms, periwinkles, clams, oysters, etc) harvested from a shoreline, tidal flat, dock or other non floating platform, please ensure that NO VESSEL is checked (which will indicate FROM SHORE) instead of UNKNOWN vessel selection."

btw, I just added the above actual message, is there a way to add formatting....bold, different foreground/background color?

Hi Tom,

Perfect to take a day off mid-week!   and one should never check the forum while taking a day off!!

so....ugh, the reason the pop-up would not close and passback the value of #VESSEL_ID# is because (gulp), I am a horrible speller, and I misspelled modEl.   It should be modAl.   grrr.

as for G_ISSUING_AGENCY, it may be moot as now other agencies (aside from Feds) would like to implement the message.

thanks again for your help!  I really appreciated it and have a tiny bit more confidence in using javascript functions....though clearly not in spelling.

Karen
