Display method on DataSource shows no data.

Hello,

I'm pretty new in X++ - work in AX 2009.

I'm trying to display data from ProdRouteJob.Location (new field) in JmgJobBundleProdFeedback Form - I add datasource ProdRouteJob and extend the field Grid. When I init Form JmgJobBundleProdFeedback - I see no data in column Location. I tried to write display method on Form like this but without success:

display str get_location(JmgTmpJobBundleProdFeedback _jmgTmpJobBundleProdFeedback)
{
ProdRouteJob prd;
;
select location from prd where prd.JobId == _jmgTmpJobBundleProdFeedback.JobID;

return prd.location;
}

Can you help me?

Many thanks

Ivo

    Hi,

    Display methods are written on the form Data sources or the Tables directly.

    Please do a little research and then if you still don't succeed you can come here and post the exact problem.

    Refer to this link too.

    Hi, sorry for late answer,  - I read that article (and lot more), but its not what I want to do:  I want create display method on Form datasource, not on table. But is method creation on table necessary to use it on datasource?  

    Edit: my problem ist that code I use above, display nothing. 

    Thank you

    No its not necessary you can add display method on datasources. The method you wrote should work fine, this is how you create it.

    The only possible reason this method doesn't return a value in my opinion would be the case where there is no data available, (check that the relevant data exists), or one reason could be that the datasource you're trying to add this method to has some grouping on it. Please check these two things.

    Thank you verry much. It was by grouping on datasource.

    Best regards!
