Display method value on to a field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by RSX 107
Hi,
I have a display method control on one form: TestDisplay()
I have field on another form TestField. 
I need the values from display method to appear on that field. 
Both are from same table.

How can I get values from display method to store into a field?

    Try to use edit method, maybe it handles your case:
     
     
    public edit ReasonCode editBlockedReasonCode(boolean set, ReasonCode _reasonCode)
    {
        VendOnHoldHistory vendOnHoldHistory;

        if (set)
        {
            ttsbegin;
            vendOnHoldHistory = VendOnHoldHistory::find(this.AccountNum, true);
            vendOnHoldHistory.ReasonCode = _reasonCode;
            vendOnHoldHistory.update();
            ttscommit;
        }
        else
        {
            _reasonCode = VendOnHoldHistory::find(this.AccountNum).ReasonCode;
        }

        return _reasonCode;
    }
    Thanks

    First thing is a display method value is generated on run time. Means when form is rendered to user, then only it will generate. So, to use a display method like your field, you need to make some batch job to run, or if it is possible, then via form datasources you can get the value. If this is also not possible, then you can write code in init in such a way that you should use same select statement like what the display method is using.

    Hi RSX,
     
    If you need a field in the database, you can go for a table extension with help of development. In case you now only have a display method on the form, you can create a runnable class and copy the code of the form display method and use it in the runnable class.

    Hi Andre, I want the value in display method to become a field in data base. 

    Layan, I've tried that in the init method of the form, but it is not working. It shows blank values only.

    Hi,
     
    You would need to decide if the value in the display method should become a field in the database or if you then will store redundant data. In case you have a requirement to have the same display method on different forms, you can also create the display method on the table. Then on both the forms, you have the same calculation for the display field.

    Hi Community User,
     
    Did you try to put on the init method of the form
    Table.Field = Table.displayMethod()?
     
    And if the value of the display method might change while the form is open, then what values does this display method depend on? Is it on fields in the same table? Then maybe add the same logic in modified methods of those fields

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
