Symptoms

After applying World release A9.4 Update 1, when you enter a purchase order via the Order Entry program (P4311) - detail first - the order number is not retrieved from Next Numbers, thus resulting in a purchase order with a zero order number, or hard error 0003 (blanks invalid).  The issue only occurs when processing option 17 is set to blank to display the detail first AND processing option 18 is set NOT to display the Y Prompt.

This issue will also occur with differing settings and processing in place.  For example: 

• The P4311 is set to display header first, display the Y Prompt and call the P43116 - P.O. Detail-User Defined Data.
• When attempting to duplicate a purchase order via F21 (Create/Duplicate a P.O.), the screen with the newly created PO detail will display correctly  (order number should not yet be populated).
• But upon pressing enter, the order number field is not populated as it should be in this step and when the program exits to the P43116, that video is presented with the Action Code, Order Number and Line Number fields all blank.
