Setting field value

joftech · Post by **joftech** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:06 am

Hi Support,

I have a situation where I find a group of data lets say 20 records where a field on each record is called voucher number. I need to be able to get the user to enter a value for voucher number and then populate all 20 records with the same value.

Thanks

Alan

You can define a temporary object (with Persistence property set to "Not persisted) where you define VoucherNumber attribute.

Then you can define a process:

ENTER NEW TemporaryObject
FIND MyRecord WHERE ...
MyRecord.VoucherNumber=TemporaryObject.VoucherNumber

Hi Support,

Thank You.

Would I then use the Insert funtion in a process to set the value for voucher number in the found set.

Thanks

No, you do not need to do anything else.

The action
MyRecord.VoucherNumber = TemporaryObject.VoucherNumber

will do everything - it will set the value of the VoucherNumber attribute for ALL records found by the previous FIND action.

Hi Support,

tried the following

Results.VoucherNumber = TemporaryObject.VoucherNumber

This did not do anything except show me a record from results.

What does the log say? (you can view a log with the log viewer - see the User Guide for details).

Does it find any records? Does it set any value?
