Hi Riyas,

Can you explain your definition when an open position is new? Is it date based or e.g. when there are no historical position assignments?

What exactly do you mean with "Old position already assigned"? If it is assigned, then it is not an open position, right?

Hi Riyas

You have stated a requirement, not a problem. Please expand.

If you are struggling to write and use a display method - just google "x++ display method". And then if you are struggling with the logic in the display method, you'll need to provide some more information. Table and field names please

thanks for your replay pete,

i want to in the display method if it a new position i need it return "new"

then if it old position return "reuser" and Position occupied "Empty" so that i wrote a small code

but still i'm confusing below my code.

public display Description getPosition() { HcmPositionRecId _positionRecid; HcmPositionWorkerAssignment hcmPositionWorkerAssignment; HcmPositionDetail hcmPositionDetail; HcmJob hcmJob; if(_positionRecid) { // i was wondering how to here } return "Empty" "New" "Reuser"; }

So I can't reconcile my knowledge of HR with your requirement. So let's discuss the table structure first (my functional knowledge is not great, so take it with a pinch of salt):

There are positions: HcmPosition and HcmPositionDetail. Both are cross company and then HcmPositionDetail is a VTS (valid time state) table

Then you have workers: HcmWorker

From there you have HcmPositionWorkerAssignment which is a VTS combination of worker & position.

From the above: 1) It is a long jump to define a position as "New". Maybe the requirement is to determine if a worker has been assigned to the position? 2) "Empty" is straight forward 3) I do not understand "reuser". And I also don't understand what the connection is between an "old position" and "reuser".

Then from a technical point of view:

Your return statement does not make sense

The method name does not make sense

You need some sort of select statement

Underscores are for method parameters (convention, not a rule, but still).

This method should not be on the form. It should be on the table. Which one exactly I do not know. What form are you extending?

You'll have to try again with explaining the requirement.

So what I think you want is an indication for a position:

A worker has never been assigned to the position => "New"

A worker has been assigned to the position, but currently it is vacant => "Empty"

The position is currently assigned to a worker => "Assigned"

Then I'd check if there is existing logic to do this. If there is none, then you should create an enumeration for this purpose.

It should be a display method on HcmPositionDetail in my opinion. Something in this direction:

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(HcmPositionDetail))] final class HcmPositionDetailXYZ_Extension { [SysClientCacheDataMethod] display XYZPositionState positionStateXYZ() { XYZPositionState positionState; HcmPositionWorkerAssignment positionWorkerAssignment; //check if there is a current assignment select firstonly RecId from positionWorkerAssignement where positionWorkerAssignment.Position == this.Position; if (positionWorkerAssignment.RecId) { positionState = XYZPositionState::Assigned; } else { //check if an assignment has ever been made select firstonly validtimestate(DateTimeUtil::minValue(),DateTimeUtil::utcNow()) RecId from positionWorkerAssignment where positionWorkerAssignment.Position == this.Position; positionState = positionWorkerAssignment.RecId ? XYZPositionState::Empty : XYZPositionState::New; } return positionState; } }

I am sure that most of the code I wrote there can be replaced by existing MS methods.

Good luck
