Retrieve data from a table buffer who has already selected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi everyone,

I created a temporary table and i used it as a form datasource. This is filled when opening the form by the init's method of the datasource.

From this form I've to open another form by clicking on a menu item button and I have to init this with some calculation based on the previous datasource.

Since my first datasource is already selected and the buffer is valued, I have not to select it again.

So, how can I retrieve data from the first datasource to fill the second one?

Thanks

    You should declare another buffer of the same temporary table and set it with buffer2.setTmpData(buffer1), where buffer1 is the buffer you would be getting from the first form. There are multiple ways of sending the buffer, one is passing it in the args.record.

    Hi Marco,

    The link provided by Raziq should help you. If the second form will be opened with a menu item button instead of a button (like described in the shared blog) , you can fill the DataSource property on the menu item button on the first form to specify the records passed with the Args automatically. On the second forn the coding to retrieve the record is then the same,

    What Iulian said should work, but in AX 2012 you have to use the linkPhysicalTableInstance() method instead of setTmpData() if the table is an actual tmp table.

    Yes, depending on the type of tempDb:

    To create

    a new instance link (populating data/copying reference) from one table instance

    variable to the other with Temporary type tables:

       For InMemory

            tables, by using the setTmpData() method

       For TempDB

            tables, the linkPhysicalTableInstance() method

            replaces the setTmpData() call.
