Orig method not working

Posted on by Community Member

I have used two temporary tables in my form. One is for all the controls and the other is for a grid. I am trying to obtain the values before update for on of the grid fields using orig but it does not seem to be working. The same if applied on the other temp table is working fine, therefore, I am a little confused as to what to do? Could you give me a few suggestions?

//modified method on the formdatasource field 
public void modified()
{
    real oldVal = TempTable2.orig() 
    ///using the name of the table as is because
    it has the same meaning as using cursor.///
    real newVal = TempTable2.Value; //New value, after update
}

You would just put a pre-event handler on the table update method, then use Orig method.

Hi ShravyaD,

Do you modify field for new record or existing one?

I do not get any value. It always returns null.

Hi ShravyaD,

What do you mean by "not working"?

Can you get any value or not?

Hi ShravyaD,

Try to add your field after the method:

TempTable2.orig().yourfield;

Hi ShravyaD,

Did you put the method before super()?
