Setting and accessing global variable

hav · 2007-09-22

Hi All,
I am facing problem with setting and accessing a global boolean var.
I have added a global boolean var. CalledFromSynchronisation to SalesLine table. This table contains a fn. to set the value of this var.as shown below:
SetCalledFromSynchronisation(Flag : Boolean)
{
CalledFromSynchronisation := Flag;
}

I have a codeunit which modifies the SalesHeader record as below:
UpdateSalesHeader(VAR SalesHeader : Record Sales Header)
{
....................
SalesHeader.VALIDATE("Sell-to Customer No.");
..........

}
The above validation calls the below fn. of SalesHeader table
RecreateSalesLines()
{
...............
//Purpose : Set synchronisation flag to restrict deletion of Items
SalesLine.SetCalledFromSynchronisation(TRUE);

SalesLine.DELETEALL(TRUE);
....................

}
Note: Modified code is in red bits

When the OnDelete() of SalesLine table is called from the above fn. and i debug the OnDelete(), what i found is that the global boolean var. CalledFromSynchronisation is not set to TRUE in spite of settting it explicitly from RecreateSalesLines(). The OnDelete() of SalesLine table is as follows:
OnDelete()
{
.......
IF NOT CalledFromSynchronisation THEN
//do someting
.......
}

While debugging when i place curson at CalledFromSynchronisation var. above it shows me "No"
I am unable to trap this.

Pls help.

try to loop through the saleslines and do delete(true) instead of deleteall(true)

The code in green bits is the Navision code. The code which i have modified is shown in red bits

Some triggers are running in their own "instances". It means when you call DELETEALL(true), you can "look behind the code" and see something like:

  if FIND('-') then
  repeat
     InternalVar := Rec;
     InternalVar.DELETE(True);
  until NEXT=0;

It means that there is no flag set in the InternalVar instance of the table. As ara3n wrote, try to use the loop instead DELETEALL.
