Invoking Form 221, Resource Allocated per Job

bhalpin

Hello.

From a command button, I am trying to find a/the way to run form 221, "Resource Allocated per Job", but set the Resource Filter to a given value.

I've been all over the button properties, but can't seem to find the 'magic', if indeed there is any. I have scoured the code of the forms involved, traced manually setting it while under the debugger, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks' in advance.

Hi Bob,

First of all create a function e.g. SetResFilter in form 211 passing an arguement of ResFilter and add the line of code

setfilter( "resource filter", ResFilter );

then declare a variable for form 211, e.g ResourceAllocation, in the calling form. In onpush trigger of the button put

ResourceAllocation.SetResFilter( MyFilter );
ResourceAllocation.runmodal;

You may have to play around with the code but the idea is sound.

Hi Dave.

Thanks. I could not get that to work, but I found another solution.

I added a command button for each resource, and in the OnPush trigger for each I put code like:

// Job is Record, table Job
// ResourceAllocation is Form 221
Job.SETFILTER("Resource Filter",'WHATEVER');
ResourceAllocation.SETTABLEVIEW(Job);
ResourceAllocation.RUNMODAL;

That did the trick nicely.
