Access Fields In A Table Using This Field Id

To do this you could use the next construction:

vendTable.( filednum( vendTable, VendAccount ) ) = “XXX”;

This is the same as

vendTable.VendAccount = “XXX”;

Example:

Field VendAccount from VendTable has id 1. Then statement VendTable.(1) = “V-00014” – will initialize field VendAccount with value “V-00014”.

You could also use this feature while working with records of type Common.

Example:

    Common      common;
    VendTable    vendTable;
    ;
    select vendTablewhere vendTable.VendAccount== "V-00014";
    common = vendTable;
    info( common.( fieldnum( vendTable, VATNum) ) );
