Hi,
I've a requirement to modify a paticular field in which is primary key. It works for other tables but when I'm using RENAME statement in REPEAT UNTIL gives the error 'the number of field arguments does not match the primary key size'

Code:

//Change Driver in Amortization Lines
CF_AmortizationLinesTable.RESET;
CF_AmortizationLinesTable.SETRANGE("Contract No",CF_ContractsNo);
IF CF_AmortizationLinesTable.FINDFIRST THEN BEGIN
REPEAT
CF_AmortizationLinesTable.RENAME(CF_AmortizationLinesTable."Leased to Driver No.",DriverNo);
UNTIL CF_AmortizationLinesTable.NEXT = 0;
MESSAGE('AL');
END
ELSE
ERROR('Create Amortization Schedule prior assuming the Lease Driver!!');

Note: CF_AmortizationLines Table has 3 keys No., Line No, Leased to Driver No.. 
Kindly suggest.

Thanks

    In a nutshell I have to say, I will say like renaming a primary key is not recommended until and unless its deadly required, Even for a single record it takes a way more time if it's a standard table, so if you are using in Repeat Until then can think of what can be happening as system goes extremely busy.

    But still if you have to then you need to check the combination of Primary key and then use Rename function for all those combinations in Rename Parameter respectively.

    When you use RENAME - you have to set all parts of a table key. So in your case it'll be next:

    CF_AmortizationLinesTable.RENAME(CF_AmortizationLinesTable."No.", CF_AmortizationLinesTable."Line No", DriverNo);

    In RENAME you need to pass the new key values, so if the CF_AmortizationLines Table key is composed of 3 fields, you need to pass 3 values with the appropriate type.

    Here, I see that you're using only two fields:

    CF_AmortizationLinesTable.RENAME(CF_AmortizationLinesTable."Leased to Driver No.",DriverNo);
