We're trying to troubleshoot a problem with our custom constituent headers that seems to be related to the batch number. Can anyone shed any light as to how the batch number actually gets passed into the constituent header?
If it's a custom header in InfoMaker (and not a Flex Header), then what happens is the datawindow is passed a customer_no, which is then passed on to a stored procedure. Weird data things could be happening at either of those places, either inside the datawindow in InfoMaker, or inside the stored procedure.
What I find curious is that the default header is supposed to be backed by AP_DONOR_HEADER1, but if you look at that procedure (in 14.1.11, at least), it will always return NULL for batch_no. And yet the current batch no is displayed! So either that's not the procedure actually in use, or the batch_no is being populated on the infomaker or powerbuilder side of things.

Same going back a long way, e.g. same sproc on v7.5 (we still have the CD) is nearly identical.
