Hi Team,
 
Using update_recordset i am updating the date.
Below code i am using.
public static void postGetStagingData(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution)    {        TestStaging    testStaging;               update_recordset testStaging            setting RequestedDeliveryDate = str2Date(subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 1, 2) + '-' + subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 3, 2) + '-' + subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 5, 2), 321)                where testStaging.ExecutionId == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.ExecutionId &&                      testStaging.DefinitionGroup == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.DefinitionGroup;    }
testStaging.DateConvert = '230314';
 
But in testStaging.DateConvert is sowing null value.
 
If i use select statement and update the RequestedDeliveryDate, i can able to update.
 
Please let me know how to update RequestedDeliveryDate using  update_recordset.

    Hi,
     
    update_recordset cannot use X++ methods. It does not translate them into the SQL ones, but calculates them immediately on the moment of start (once).
     
    to solve your task, you will have to code it as
    while select testStaging
    {
    // do your conversion logic
    testStaging.update();
    }

    Hi,
     
    Reading the coding you shared is hard as the format lost the new lines. Anyway, you try to use the update_recordset calculating a field with values from the original records. I don't think the update_recordset will be feasible here. The generated SQL will literally replace the current known values. As the testStaging record in your coding is empty, it will use empty values to update using this command.
    It would be possible if you have a fixed date to update on several records.

    Let me re-post your code. 
    public static void postGetStagingData(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution)
{
    TestStaging testStaging;
           
    update_recordset testStaging
        setting RequestedDeliveryDate = str2Date(subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 1, 2) + '-' + subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 3, 2) + '-' + subStr(testStaging.DateConvert, 5, 2), 321)
        where testStaging.ExecutionId == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.ExecutionId
           && testStaging.DefinitionGroup == _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution.DefinitionGroup;
}
     
    I don't think that F&O is able to translate all the X++ functions (such as str2Date()) to T-SQL, so I indeed wouldn't expect it to work.
     
    Can't you parse the DateConvert value inside your entity?
