What I want to happen is to be able to create lines using the values from my customize table/form. The Add Line button will be disabled and lets the user to use my customized form to creates line in Sales Agreement.

My custom form is Tolling Details. A user needs to create only 1 record in this customized form. Then after clicking OK when the customize form exits, 2 record lines of Agreement Line is created based on the values in my customized form. My plan is to use args() to pass values from my form to the sales agreement form.

Is it possible to call the standard Add Line button from my customized form and instead of user inputs of some of the fields it will take values from my customized form?

    Hi Soumaya,

    I've placed the AgreementLine and AgreementLineDefault as the data sources of my customized form.

    Hi Sukrut Parab,

    Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I cannot use the element.args().caller() because I passed a different args because I opened my formB through formRun. See my code below:

    In my formA I needed to pass a value based on a value found in SalesAgreementHeader.

    FormA:

    Args hsArgs = new Args();
FormRun formRun;

hsArgs.parm(SalesAgreementHeader_SalesNumberSequence1.valueStr());
hsargs.name(formstr("FormB"));
formRun = classfactory.formrunclass(hsArgs);
formRun.init();
formRun.run();
formRun.wait();

super();

    but my problem is, I need the method of the AgreementLine datasource which is ALine:create() in the form SalesAgreementForm form. Unfortunately when I'm passing args() I am getting values from the SalesAgreementListPage (which is the Sales Agreement Header).

    How can I call the data source method in SalesAgreementForm (AgreementLine datasource) using my customized form?

     

     I cannot use elemet.args().caller() in my customized form because I've already passed a different args as shown above. I can't send it in my formA because the caller I need is formA itself.

    Hi Sukrut,

    this worked for me:

       // Call method from calling form

       if (element.args () && element.args (). Caller () && element.args (). Caller (). Handle () == className2Id ( 'formRun' ))

       {

           formRun = element.args () caller ().

           if (sysFormRun :: hasMethod (formRun, identifierStr ( " someFormMethod " )))

           {

               object = formRun;

               object. someFormMethod () ;

           }

    however, before doing the someFormMethod() I want that the fields I placed on my customized form will be passed there. In my case I am passing to SalesAgreementForm form, and it's method createRecord()
