Do not modify record if found with recref.GETRECORD

ajhvdb

Just stumbled onto this post: http://navigateintosuccess.com/blog/bug ... services-2
Excellent blog by the way..

Below code will modify the field but also reset all the non-key fields of the record to their default values.

RecRef := RecID.GETRECORD;
// iFldID is an integer parameter
FldRef := RecRef.FIELD(iFldID);
FldRef.VALIDATE(0D);
RecRef.MODIFY;

I was going to use this kind of code but can't after reading this.. Is there a fast workaround?

Thanks for helping.

Have you tried: RecRef.GET(RecID) ?

Can you use the RECORDREF.GETTABLE Function? This one should work as expected.

Yes that works but I don't have a record variable
