Before the " New ID Number [new ident-no.]" dialog box opens in 3Dfindit, a script on the server can check whether certain prerequisites are met. Depending on the result, the script either prompts the user, displays a message, or terminates the process with a message, so that the dialog box does not open. The script does not modify any data.^[78]

	Note
	The test applies only to 3Dfindit, not to PARTdataManager.

Wear Enter the compiled script ( .vbb ) in the erpcustom.cfg :

[SERVER_BEFORE_SHOWDIALOG]
1=$CADENAS_SETUP/scripts/erp/
 erp_before_showdialog.vbb

If the check is to apply only to a specific role, the block reads:

[SERVER_BEFORE_SHOWDIALOG(<groupName>)]

The script contains the Execute(context) function. It must return 1 . Any other value or exception is considered an error.

Via context, the script has access to the following information and messages:

	Note
	After confirmation, the script runs a second time. Ask and ShowInfo are ignored in this process, so you do not need to call QueryConfirmed. If the script has side effects, such as writing entries to a log file, call QueryConfirmed to ensure that nothing is done twice .

Before the dialog box opens, the user is asked if they would like to continue :

Function Execute(context)
  context.Ask("Do you want to continue to the ERP dialog?", _
    "Assign ERP number", "Proceed", "Stop")
  Execute = 1
End Function
