Copying Record!!!!

Hanen

Hi,


what does TRANSFERFIELDS exactely do?

I have a record from a table a copy fom a Sales Line I want to passe it to a record type Sales Line (not an insertion) only for tests.

I used
RecSalesPendingLines := RecSalesLine;

I got an error message that RecSalesPendingLines type should be Sales Line and not Sales Lines Pending.

Help!!!! :oops:

Haven't you used the C/Side reference guide from the help menu?

TRANSFERFIELDS copies fields based on the Field No. property of the fields. For each field in Record (the destination), the contents of the field with the same Field No. in FromRecord (the source) will be copied, if such a field exists.

Please read help for more information on TRANSFERFIELDS..

Regarding the error message..
you have declared "RecSalesPendingLines" variable as Sales Lines Pending record and assigning it from "Sales Line". Which is wrong..

Using the assignment statement - i.e ":=" - with record variables is only possible with variables based on the same Record type. For that reason you get:

TRANSFERFIELD is the one you should (see for details above), and actually it's funny that you ask about that and apparently did not use it ...
