Splitting the records

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ThivaKar 931

Hi ,

I have a new form,say with fields NumberSeqfield,Cust Accnt, Cust Name, Divison, date, numberof.

My need is to create the numberof records, say if the numberof field have value 8.

if i click a button, it should split the record into 8 records.

Now what i have done is i hardcoded the numberseqfield when inserting the 8 records, as

if numberseq field is :LAB -000001,  i split it as LAB -000001-1,LAB -000001-2,LAB -000001-3...LAB -000001-8.

all this i have done in an for loop.

Now, if i need to split it as 4 and 4, what should i do.

eg:

Number seq - LAB-000001 ,  Cust Accnt - 10000, Name - XX, Division -01 , data - today. number of - 8.

i will to split it into 4.LAB-000001-1,LAB-000001-2,LAB-000001-3,LAB-000001-4.

If i again click the first record and split it again, then obviously it won't create since i hardcoded the numbseq field when splitting.

What are the other options to achieve this.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Rusty.

    Hi Rusty,

    Can you explain it less abstract? What is the business requirement? How would the system know it should split into 8 or 4 and 4 records? Why would there be a requirement to split again? What exact type of answer are you looking for? A suggestion to not use a hardcoded number sequence?

    Hi Andre,

    There is a field as NumberOfContainers.If this value is 8(User enters the value, might be any number).

    So, if i click the button, a dialog will open to enter the number to split.

    Buisness requirement is : This is customer label parts. This form will be used to generate report and this will be a label that would be sticked in the customer parts.

    Number sequence is for the Barcode in the report.

    as i said earlier, lets say if there is a record like

    Number seq - LAB-000001 ,  Cust Accnt - 10000, Name - XX, Division -01 , data - today. number of containers - 8.

    the purpose of splitting is to split this record with just an another number sequence.

    if number of containers is 8, then user will split it into 8 records, with another number sequence, which can be used as bar code in the label of customer parts. just to identify the parts label.

    I hope this clarifies!

    Your example provided is very unclear on what exactly do you mean by a 4 by 4 split.

    We do not really get you since above you are just showing a single number sequence, where you will have 4 or 8 records with the next number consumed sequentially, which would be just 1 number sequence. Then depending on what number you have, you would just programmatically fetch the next 4 or 8 or whatever number you want from the same sequence in a loop.
