get orig-data of extended table

Hi everyone,

the table EcoResIntValue (for example, also several other tables) is an extension of EcoResValue. How do I get the original table-data before update EcoRes(Int)Value?

EcoResValue included a static methode to get the concrete value record... But that method returns the already changed values of the record... I could not find a way to get the EcoResIntValue.orig() record...

I need to know if there are changes on the current record.

Regard

Christian

EcoResIntValue inherits all fields of EcoResValue and you can see them on EcoResIntValue buffer. For example, the Origin field is defined in EcoResValue, not EcoResIntValue, but EcoResIntValue buffers have this field, because EcoResIntValue inherited it. For example:
EcoResIntValue intValue; select firstOnly intValue; info(int642str(intValue.Origin));

When you call orig(), you should get original values of all fields, regardless of whether they're defined in EcoResValue or EcoResIntValue (it's a single a row in the database anyway). Or none, if the orig() method is called at a wrong place.

You said you "I could not find a way to get the EcoResIntValue.orig() record", but unfortunately, you gave us no details. I can't help you with that unless you tell me more about the situation.

Hello Martin,
I don't know how to describe it more precisely... I would like to know (need to know) whether the value of a field in the EcoResValues table has changed... I thought that I could check this in the update method, as with other tables, by checking the original data record against the currently changed data record before the next() call. But I can't find the EcoRes(Int)Values.Orig() data set.

For example:

I change the float value from 35 into 30.

Before next update() call, I hope to get the original value with this.orig() (as EcoResIntVlaue)...

Hope, this helps to understand my question...

Do you mean that you don't know how to see the values of parent table fields? If so, expand the Base_Fields node.

No... ;-)

What I need are the original values of the inheriting table (EcoResIntValue, EcoResFloatValue, etc) before the update. The parent table (EcoResValue) does not contain any attribute values, only the table relationships of the inheriting tables (EcoResIntValue, EcoResFloatValue, etc). The attribute values are stored in the inherited tables (EcoResIntValue, EcoResFloatValue, etc).

You seem to be extending a wrong table. You want fields of EcoResIntValue, so you should extend EcoResIntValue, not EcoResValue.

If this variable contains an instance of EcoResIntValue, you could technically cast it to EcoResIntValue, but it would be a wrong design. The parent table should contain common logic, not logic for a specific child.

Hi,

I found the error... Was my fault... I need to take the right inherited table... I take the EcoResIntValue but I have to take EcoResFloatValue...

So you can close this question...
