get currentkey?

Magno

Hi,

you all know there exists a function to copy the filters from a record. it is called COPYFILTERS.

But does there exist a function to copy the key?

Can you just use rec2.SETCURRENTKEY(rec);
i also noticed there is a property on the rec with the name CURRENTKEY.
But help doesn't provide enough help for me.


Any suggestions or solutions?

Thx already

Have you tried RecOne.SETCURRENTKEY(RecTwo.CURRENTKEY)?

Magno

yes, already tried, currentkey returns a string with the key. while SETCURRENTKEY requiers a field as parameter

From F1 help:

COPY (Record)
Use this function to copy a record from a C/SIDE table. All filters, marks, and keys are included in the copy.

Record.COPY(FromRecord)
Record

Data type: record

The record where the copy should be placed.

FromRecord

Data type: record

The record you want to make a copy of.

Another way could be

MyRec.SETVIEW(YourRec.GETVIEW(FALSE));

This will also copy all filters and the currentkey to the other Record Variable.

Magno

indeed, the last one works and is the shortest, thx

Not quite. It only copies the filters in the current filtergroup. In most cases not a problem, once in a while it may turn out to be a critical error. So why risk it :-)

sorry, looked wrong,

indeed the copy is the better one, even marked works
