NAV 2018 AL: Open Page based on Temporary Table

Hi,

I have the requirement to open a page with AL, which is based on a temp. table.

I tried the following code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

UserGroup: Record "MyRecord";

TempTab: Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary;

PageUserGroups: Page "MyPage";

begin

UserGroup.setrange("myField","myField");

if UserGroup.findset() then0

repeat

TempTab.SetRange(Name,UserGroup."myField2");

if not TempTab.findfirst then begin

TempTab.init;

TempTab.validate(id,TempTab.id + 1);

TempTab.validate(Name,UserGroup."myFiedl2");

TempTab.Insert;

end;

until UserGroup.next=0;

PageUserGroups.SetTableView(TempTab);

PageUserGroups.Caption('My Caption');

PageUserGroups.Editable(false);

PageUserGroups.Run;

end;

Unfortunatelly, this code does not work, the page does not show the records of the temp table.

To open the page with the code does work, but it is not an option since I need to modify the caption of the page and fields after opening:

Page.run(Page::"MyPage",TempTab);

Any help is appreciated.
Michael

Try to add SetRecord before run sample :

PageUserGroups.SetRecord(TempTab);

In this case you no need to use settableview unless you want to set some filter

First it was working but somehow it does not work anymore.

TempTab.Reset;

Page.run(Page::"myPage",TempTab);

myPage.SetRecord(TempTab);

myPage.Caption('User Groups assigned to User' + ' - ' + "User Name");

myPage.Editable(false);

myPage.Run;

The page.run(...) command opens the page correctly...

The myPage.run opens the page empty, no record show...

The funny thing is, if the temporary table is really empty then I get the error that the table is empty when running the code myPage.run(). Only if there are records in the table, the page will open empty...

Sorry , i just realized that this setrecord is not working with temporary table.

docs.microsoft.com/.../setrecord-function--page-

Another workaround is , on your page property set "SourceTableTemporary" to Yes , then put the code to populate the temporary data during OnOpenPage Trigger of the page.

What if you want to then print or archive this data? I.e you opened a page to fill with temp data, but some of that temp data you want to store in a actual table.

SetTableView will not work for temporary table, you need to create a new function in the Page and in that function you need to add code to insert the data by passing the temporary table. Make sure you set the TableSource of the page as temporary and call the function before running the Run.
