Validate in Option

sabzam

I am inserting a new record; and one of the fields is an option field. Let's say I need to insert type 'G/L Account' or Customer depending on the case.

How can I do this by passing over a text variable and sort of changing it into an option?

U can use the STRMENU.

I am trying to do as follows:

Validate ("Account Type", StrMenu ("Account Type", 1));

and

Validate ("Account Type", StrMenu ("Account Type", Type));

but none is working

You can try this way:

Validate("Account Type","Account Type"::"G/L Account");
Validate("Account Type","Account Type"::Customer);

Hi BBlue,

I usually used the way you mentioned above. What I am trying to do is to Have G/L Account and Customer passed over by Variable

Try using this one instead.

textVar := 'Option 1,Option 2,Option 3';
Validate ("Account Type", STRMENU(textVar, 1));

You can create an option type variable. The tricky part though is to make sure that they have the same option values as the field you are populating.
