Move Data from one field to another

Posted on by Community Member

Hello everyone,

I am trying to move data from Unit Cost field into another Custom Unit Cost field in the same table.


Can someone please provide the correct procedure for this? My first thought is to run an update query in my SQL Database.

Thanks.

    Using a report it could be done easily but if you're asking that I would harder to explain that.

    Someting like this should work:

    RecItem.Reset;

    IF (RecItem.FINDSET) THEN BEGIN

     REPEAT

       RecItem.VALIDATE(RecItem.Custom,RecItem.UnitCost)

       RecItem.MODIFY();

     UNTIL RecItem.NEXT=0;

    END;

    Hi,

    If you want to just move the existing values into a different field, then you can use a codeunit or a process only report.

    Codeunit:

    Create a new codeunit and on the RUN trigger write the below code :

    RecTb : define your table in the variables. 

    If RecTb.FINDSET()THEN BEGIN

   RecTb.VALIDATE("Custom Unit Cost","Unit Cost);

   RecTb.MODIFY();

END;

    Report:

    Create a new report and add the table you want to modify, then on the OnAfterGetRecord trigger write the below code. Also, set the report as a Process Only. You can do this with the properties of the report. 

    VALIDATE("Custom Unit Cost","Unit Cost);

MODIFY();
