Combining the values of 2 fields into one new column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Divan 107

Hi Guys,

I have made a new table extension and added a new field Ship to External No:

        field(50003; TBLSHP_ExternalNo; Text[30])
        {
            Caption = 'Ship-to External No.';
        }

However what i want to do now is to get the value of 2 existing fields and combine them as the value of the new table.

For example the current values of the fields are:

Thus the value of the new field "Ship To External No" must reflect "01121212-002"

How can one achieve this?

Thanks

    Hi,

    You should call those events for your table in the codeunit or you can write the below code On OnInsert trigger and OnModify Trigger as well.

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, database::"YourTable", 'OnAfterInsertEvent', '', true, true)]

       local procedure OnAfterInsertEvent_YourTable(var Rec: Record "YourTable")

       begin

           if (rec."Customer No." <> '') and (rec.code <> '') then

               rec."External Document No." := rec."Customer No." + ' ' + rec.Code;

       end;

       [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, database::"YourTable", 'OnAfterModifyEvent', '', true, true)]

       local procedure OnAfterModifyEvent_YourTable(var Rec: Record "YourTable")

       begin

           if (rec."Customer No." <> '') and (rec.code <> '') then

               rec."External Document No." := rec."Customer No." + ' ' + rec.Code;

       end;

    Or you can make the source a function (which always returns the combination of the two fields)
     
    field(50003; TBLSHP_ExternalNo; GetCustNoAndCode())
     
            {
     
                Caption = 'Ship-to External No.';
     
            }
     
    local procedure GetCustNoAndCode(): Text
    begin
         exit(format(Rec."Customer No" + Rec.Code));
    end;
