Can't assign an option value

law · 2004-11-28

In a table there's an optin field with optionstring=Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító.
I made a function like this:

function LookupSite(PartnerType: 'Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító');
begin
  do something with PartnerType...
end;

I call this function like this:
var variable:'Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító';
begin
  variable:=Rec.Type;
  LookupSite(variable);
end;

Rec.Type is is an Option field Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító.
If Rec.Type=Vevő, then variable's value will be Vállalat. If Rec.Type=Szállító, then variable's value will be Vevő.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Try for dubugging purposes to give 2 parameters, the one you already have and a second, integer type. Pass the same values to your routine, like this:

function LookupSite(PartnerType: 'Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító';PartnerType2:integer); 
begin 
  message('param1='+Format(PartnerType)+' param2='+Format(PartnerType2));
  do something with PartnerType... 
end; 

I call this function like this: 
var variable:'Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító'; 
begin 
  variable:=Rec.Type; 
  LookupSite(variable,variable); 
end;

and see what the message shows...
Is it param1=param2?

Option type is in fact integer type... so you can use an integer parameter.

Rec.Type is is an Option field Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító.

Are you sure it isnt ",Vállalat,Vevő,Szállító"?

The initial comma makes the first option (no. 0) blank, but if there isn't a blank char before the comma you wont see it when showing the field on forms. Have you looked at the OptionStr property of the field?
