HCM forms - User Events

Question

hi,
I have added a push button in the form.  I have written $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_CHECK", as i wanted to fill up some fields related to a position upon entering the same.
Wanted to know what else should be done, so that when the user enters the postion no and then clicks on this push button it should fill up the related fields.
Thanks,
Nikhil

HI Chris,
I had seen your previous blogs nad had done exactly like that, but still it was not working.
In the form i had used 'USER_EVENT_CHECK'. Then in HRASR_DT under 'Other Attributes' i had created an operation 'USER_EVENT_CHECK'  and created a new field group FG1. In this field group i assigned one field F1, the field which the user will enter. I kept the processing type here as CHECK. then created another field group FG2 and assigned all the other related fields to the field F1 and kept the processing type as initialise.
I had created a generic service nad written the code for population of other fields under DO_COPERATIONS method. But while debugging on clicking of the button, the code doesnt stop in this method.
I now copied SOC1 form and added all my fields into that standard form. i only kept the Derive data button from the standard form. I removed all the confiuguration done in 'Other Attributes', all the field groups and operations etc whcih i had created as mentioned above. And now its working. On clicking of the button the DO_OPERATIONS method is called.
Not sure what was my mistake. In the above method we are creating opeartions and assigning field groups. ok i understand that but, where do we write the data population code.
Thanks, Nikhil
