Rename Item code by using Codeunit

abnainasabnainas Member Posts: 174
Dear All,

I'm tring to rename the item code for 3700 items, So I made a codeunit to do the following:
OnRun()
  itemrec.FIND('-');
  REPEAT
    itemrec.INIT; 
    itemrec.RENAME(itemrec."No." + 'V');
  UNTIL itemrec.NEXT = 0;

Do you have another code to do the same result.

    Dear All,

    When I'm used the following Code.... Nothing Happend.
    OnRun()
      itemrec.FIND('-');
      REPEAT
        itemrec.INIT; 
        itemrec.RENAME('V' + itemrec."No.");
      UNTIL itemrec.NEXT = 0;
    

    Please note that Item Code is a numbers.

    Please advise

    OnRun()
      itemrec.REST;
      IF itemrec.FIND('-') THEN
      REPEAT
        itemrec.RENAME('V' + itemrec."No.");
      UNTIL itemrec.NEXT = 0; 
    

    what about that?

    Also as far as i know, the Primary key in item table is No with type Code.
    Enabled Field No. Field Name Data Type Length
    Yes 1 No. Code 20

    Problem is that if your item numbers are digits only, then adding V in front of any number moves your current position to the end of the table.

    items before rename :
    01
    02
    03

    renaming 01 to V01 will give you
    02
    03
    V01

    So if ItemRec.No was '01', and ItemRec.No is 'V01' after rename, ItemRec.NEXT cannot find any more records.

    try this:
    itemrec.REST;
      itemrec.ASCENDING(FALSE);
      itemrec.SETRANGE("No.", <first current item no here>, <last current item no here>);
      IF itemrec.FIND('+') THEN
      REPEAT
        itemrec.RENAME('V' + itemrec."No.");
      UNTIL itemrec.NEXT(-1) = 0;
    
    or this
    itemrec.REST;
      itemrec.SETRANGE("No.", <first current item no here>, <last current item no here>);
      IF itemrec.FIND('-') THEN
      REPEAT
        itemrec2 := itemrec;
        itemrec.RENAME('V' + itemrec."No.");
        itemrec := itemrec2;
      UNTIL itemrec.NEXT = 0;
    

    Don't forget set proper filters on itemrec."no."
