Dears,

I'm trying to pull the list of customers. I use below code to get the list of customers. But the method is not returned any customer list.

public class CustomerService
{
[AifCollectionTypeAttribute('return', Types::Class, classStr(CustomerRequest))

]
public List getCust()
{
// var response = new CustomerResponse();
CustomerRequest _request;
List custlist = new List(Types::Class);
ListEnumerator CustEnumerator;
CustTable custTable;

while select *from custTable
{
_request = new CustomerRequest();
_request.parmCustAccount(custTable.AccountNum);
custlist.addEnd(_request);

}

return custlist;

}

}

Maybe the method works flawlessly and the reason why it doesn't return any customers is that you're using a wrong company, where no customers exists.

Note that you don't need to just observe the result and guess what's going on. You can use the debugger to see what exactly happens in your code.

Hi Faqruddin,

When you debug, does it enter the while loop? Or does it skip it? If it skips it, as Martin said, check CustTable.DataAreaId when debugging, it might be DAT company

Thanks,

Thank you for your valuable advices. I change my code as follows as per your advice. Its little bit tricky part while using List class. inside the get() method to return as collection data. It works as follows.

//[DataContractAttribute]
[DataContract]
public class AXCustomerContract
{
DataAreaId dataAreaId;

[DataMemberAttribute("dataAreaId")]
public DataAreaId parmDataAreaID(DataAreaId _areaId = dataAreaId)

{

dataAreaId = _areaId;

return dataAreaId;

}
//[DataMemberAttribute("CustomerAccount")]
//public CustAccount paramCustomerAccount(CustAccount _custAccount = custAccount)
//{
// custAccount = _custAccount;
// return custAccount;

//}

}

class AXCustomerGeterSetter
{
CustAccount custAccount;
DataAreaId dataAreaId;

[DataMemberAttribute("dataAreaId")]
public DataAreaId parmDataAreaID(DataAreaId _areaId = dataAreaId)

{

dataAreaId = _areaId;

return dataAreaId;

}

[DataMemberAttribute("custAccount")]

public custAccount parmCustAccount(custAccount _custAccount = custAccount)

{

custAccount = _custAccount;

return custAccount;

}
}

public class AXCustomerService
{
[AifCollectionType('return', Types::Class, classStr(AXCustomerGeterSetter))]
public List getCust(AXCustomerContract _req)
{
// var response = new CustomerResponse()
CustTable custTable;
DataAreaId dataAreaId;
List custlist = new List(Types::Class);

;

dataAreaId = _req.parmDataAreaID();
while select *from custTable where custTable.DataAreaId == dataAreaId
{
AXCustomerGeterSetter response = new AXCustomerGeterSetter();

response.parmDataAreaID(custTable.DataAreaId);
response.parmCustAccount(custTable.AccountNum);
custlist.addEnd(response);

}

return custlist;

}
}

It's strange you're happy with it, because you have a serious bug there. You filter CustTable by DataAreaId, but you forgot to make the query cross-company, therefore it'll work correctly only if you're currently logged to the same company as in dataAreaId variable. You should add crossCompany keyword to the select statement. An alternative approach is using a changeCompany block.
