How to get the option value of a Option var?

chandrurecchandrurec Member Posts: 560
Hi all,

I am having a option variable named "Sales Type" field in Sales Invoice Header table with option strings such as '',Local Sale, High Sea Sale,SEZ Sale ....

when I put the message of the Sales Type field , I am getting the string name as Local Sales but I should get the value of the corresponding string (i.e1).

For Ex, When I select the "Sales Type" as High Sea Sale then I should get the message as 2 .

Is it possible to achieve this?

If so , Kindly tell me how to get the option value in message.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chandru.

    FORMAT(fieldname,0,2)

    This should return the numeric value of the option instead of the option text.

    or another trick:

    intSomeInteger := "Sales Type".

    internally, an option is an integer field, so you can use that.

    Both work, but Kriki's is the preferred way to do this.
