How Do I Copy/Extend Function?#

Copying a function is referred to as ‘extending’. This is due to the fact that when a function is copied, the form attached to the function is also copied.

Functions should only be copied if you wish to make changes to the form attached to the function. (For example, customizing the Employee Time sheet (WEPTS) to your company’s time codes.)

  1. Access the Maintain Function form (IMFN) through the Web Site Administrator main menu. You will be presented with a list of functions.
  2. Select the function you wish to extend.
  3. Click on Extend Form button located directly beneath the execution rights booleans on the right side of the form.
  4. Find the original function. You will see that you have a new function with CPY added to the original function. In addition, the usage field on the function as well as the form for the function in IMFD have been marked as User Defined.
  5. Go to the Function Name and rename the new function to something more meaningful. i.e. WEPTS CPY can be renamed WEPTS_HL
If you copy/extend a function you should go to IMMS and copy the ‘_FIND’ code as well. i.e. You copy WAPPT and call it WAPPT_HL. Copy the WAPPT_FIND and call it WAPPT_HL_FIND.
