Edit Record button doesn't work (a=er)

Hello,
I have a button and when I use ?a=API_EditRecord&rid= it works, but of course saves the record. I would like the record to stay opened in Edit mode.  So when I use ?a=er&dfid=2&rid= it doesn't update any of the fields.  I need to be able to enter a quantity before I save.  I'm starting to feel crazy, but I had the button working the other day fine, and the next day it didn't work.  

This one updates fields correctly but saves:
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid="
& URLEncode([Record ID#])
&_fid_119=" & URLEncode("Change Qty Requested") //Change Order Status
& "&_fid_110=1" //Changed Item checkbox
& "&_fid_111=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") //Approval Status
& "&_fid_109=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") // Change Status
& "&_fid_114=" & URLEncode([Qty]) // Change Previous QTY
& "&z=" & Rurl()

This one opens the record in edit mode, but doesn't edit the values of any of the specified fields:
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=2&rid="
& URLEncode([Record ID#])
& "&_fid_119=" & URLEncode("Change Qty Requested") //Change Order Status
& "&_fid_110=1" //Changed Item checkbox
& "&_fid_111=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") //Approval Status
& "&_fid_109=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") // Change Status
& "&_fid_114=" & URLEncode([Qty]) // Change Previous QTY
& "&z=" & Rurl()

What am I missing here?

    When you push the button are you in edit mode?  And when pushed you want to save and continue in edit mode?

      Hi Mark,
      When pushed, it does go to the record in edit mode yes.  When pushed I want to be in Edit mode, so I can enter a quantity (in a qty field) and then save and go back to the record I was on.

        This would edit the record you are on and then land you in edit mode on the same record.

        var text SetValues = 
        URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid="
        & URLEncode([Record ID#])
        &_fid_119=" & URLEncode("Change Qty Requested") //Change Order Status
        & "&_fid_110=1" //Changed Item checkbox
        & "&_fid_111=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") //Approval Status
        & "&_fid_109=" & URLEncode("Waiting on Approval") // Change Status
        & "&_fid_114=" & URLEncode([Qty]) ;// Change Previous QTY

        var text EditMode = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=2&rid="
        & URLEncode([Record ID#]);

        $SetValues
        & &rdr=" & URLEncode($EditMode)
