fieldref.OPTIONCAPTION

Capone

Hi!
This problably have a simple solution but for the moment I can't figure out how to do it.

I have read several posts that I can get the caption from an option datatype using a combination of selectstr() and fieldref.Optioncaption.

But how do I get it if I'm not in the scope of the actual record where the field is?

Example:
From the vendor table I want to get the optioncaption from field "Value Posting" in table Default dimension.

I was hoping that could do it something like defaultdim."Value Posting".OPTIONCAPTION but apparently not

einsTeIn.NET

What do you want to do? If you just want to display the value of field "Value Posting" of the Default Dimension of a certain Vendor you neither need FieldRef nor OPTIONCAPTION nor SELECTSTR.

Sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear....

In table vendor I have this pseudo code:

IF defaultDim."Value Posting" <> defaultDim."Value Posting"::"Code Mandatory" THEN
error("Dimension %1 must have Value Posting = %2",.....);


I want %2 to be the caption to "Value Posting"::"Code Mandatory"

einsTeIn.NET

DefaultDim.TESTFIELD("Value Posting",DefaultDim."Value Posting"::"Code Mandatory");
