Name of the caller object

fazlehasan

Hi all.

I have one small question:

Say Object "X" is calling object "Y".
How Object "Y" can tell what is the caller object?
Is there any method in C/Side to get the name / no. of the caller object
other than using Single Instance Code Unit - like using set and get funtions?

Thanks.

No, there is no way for that. Why you need that? I do not know any business process which will need that.

Thanks for you reply

We need Item Tracking Lines (Form 6510) behave a little bit differently when called from Purchase Order (Form 50)
- like some fields would become disabled , some fields would be autofilled etc. based on which Form is calling it.

Thanks and regards

You may try adding a Global variable and setting its value before calling. and check for the flag in form opening.
there may be other better ways!

The write two separate functions in the code unit and call a different function depending on your needs.

You already have this in the form - variable CurrentSourceType is ID of table from where it was called (Sales Line, Purchase Line)… just look into existing code, there are conditions making the proces differend based on the calling source...
