Dataport - export record multiple times

keitholson

I have a "Quantity" field (type: Integer and not a flow field) in a table that I am exporting records from.
I would like to export a record 2x if the quantity is 2, 3x if its 3 etc.
The records would all export to the same file, but ones with quantities greater than zero would export extra lines with the same information.
Can some one point me in the right direction for accomplishing this?
Thanks in advance.

You can accomplish this by adding code to the OnAfterExport trigger for the dataitem. For example:

IF State = 'CA' THEN
IF X < 3 THEN BEGIN
NEXT(-1);
X := X + 1;
END;
ELSE
X := 1;

You can modify the code where the 3 would be the integer field in question. Also, you will have to set X as a global integer variable. Hope this helps.
