I have just migrated a solution from 6.0 to 8.5 without major problems except one. A script step calls the Duplicate record/request to copy a record. In 6.0 this step works, but does not in 8.5. the error code returned is 3 - unavailable command. The user has full access and is in Browse mode and on a layout based on the table whose record is to be duplicated. Can anyone suggest why the command may not be available?

Are there many fields that need to be populated when the record is duplicated? Is it just a matter of getting related info to show up in a record?

Make a new script that proves that the duplicate command will work. This is your first test.

Did you check the conversion log? Sometimes you can get corruption, sometimes the calculations are wrong.

Check very closely, but first make sure you can do a duplicate as I said first.

Thanks for your suggestions. The solution to the problem was madeningly simple- a goto Field script statement was all that was necessary. Perhaps earlier versions of FM assumed the first record of a found set is automatically selected, but later versions do not?:
