Hi, I have written coc for inventjournaltranfer form ds field. But it is not executing. I kept debugger but not hitting, I also tried to build project many times.

Installed product version : 10.0.31 (10.0.1406.139)Installed platform version : Update55 (7.0.6651.122)

Here is my code :

[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(InventJournalTransfer, InventJournalTrans, ItemId))]
final class InventJournalTransferFormDSItemField_XXX_Extension
{
public boolean validate()
{
InventJournalTrans inventJournalTrans;
InventTable inventTable;
boolean ret;
FormDataObject formDataObject = any2Object(this) as FormDataObject;
FormDataSource formDataSource = formDataObject.datasource();
ret = next validate();
inventJournalTrans = formDataSource.cursor();
select FIELD1 from inventTable where inventTable.ItemId == inventJournalTrans.ItemId;
if(inventTable.FIELD1 == NoYes::Yes)
{
Error(strFmt(/%1 MESSAGE/,inventTable.ItemId));
return false;
}
return ret;
}
}
---------------

And FYI - the extension is working for control validate (but not datasource field validate)

Hi,

Have you tried adding the info log inside the method without any condition?

Does the symbols are loaded while debugging?

Have you tried the same at onValidating event handler?

Thanks,

Girish S.

It tried a simple example on the same field and it didn't work out. Then I look into our application (code from Microsoft, ISVs and our customizations) and I didn't find a single CoC extension of validate() method on a data source field. There may be reason why nobody used it.

Use Validating event instead.

It's off-topic, but couldn't your code be written simply like this?

public boolean validate() { boolean ret = next validate(); InventTable inventTable = inventJournalTrans.inventTable(); if (inventTable.Field1) { return checkFailed(strFmt("%1 MESSAGE", inventTable.ItemId)); } return ret; }
