Passing a variable to a dataport

bhuber

When calling a dataport, how would you pass a variable such as the name of the template and batch for example.

mfabian

Assume you have a Variable TemplateName : Text30 within the Dataport.

Within the dataport create a the following procedure


Procedure SetTemplatename(parTemplateName : TExt30);
Begin
Templatename := parTemplatename
end;

From outside create a variable with type of your dataport and call this procedure ...

myDataport.SetTemplateName(myFileName);

... before starting the dataport.

Needless to say that this method works not only with Dataports but also with Reports and Forms
