Posted on by VoltesDev

Hi,

in my code, instead using "words" for a message, I want to use the label description of an EDT, can I do that and how ?

For example I have message : info("Item number cannot be empty"), Instead type it manually I want to use like strfmt("%1 cannot be empty", <label of EDT ItemId>)

Thanks,

You should add a new text in your label file. Copy by right click and Copy the label ID, and paste in your info. It will start with an @ .

Hi VoltesDev,

info(strfmt("%1",@LabelId:LabelId));

You can just copy the label id from label file and you can paste it.

Hi both,

Yes, but in that case it is because first I know the label ID that being used in my EDT. Can I just know the EDT then there is some function to get its label id ? So I just type the EDT name or perhaps later a field name from a table, then it will show us its label description.

Btw, my EDT or my field's label already has its label Id set.

Thanks

The system on its own has an error that display when a field you set to be mandatory is not inputted.

When you are deliberately info-ing a message, you must specify the message by yourself by either type the message raw or using a label ID which will contain the actual message.

As komi mentioned, there is no need to get the EDT of the label via code. You can either set it on the table - form control - data type levels or just copy paste the label id on the info message.

Sorry, I probably not describe it clearly.

This is actually what I'm using and trying to do -> throw error(strFmt("@SYS136411", <myfied>)

The @SYS136411 is basically translated as "%1 cannot be empty", so I want the %1 showing my field's label description, but I'm thinking I do not want to find first what is the label Id that I'm using, instead is there a function to get it them self when I only use (write) my field name, or for example the EDT name : ItemID, it will show the label "Item number".

Thanks

In that case you need to code like that.

info(strfmt("@LableId:LabelId",fieldPName(YourTableName,YourFieldName)));

This will return the fields label description.
