Hello Expert,

I am trying to find last second record of the table but my program is not working. Can anyone please help.

Count1:=0;
IF Cust.FIND('+') THEN
REPEAT
Count1:= Count1 +1;
UNTIL Cust.NEXT= -1;

Thanks in advance.

Nia

Why not just use FINDLAST

You can loop backwards using the below record or you could set the SETASCENDING to false on the key and loop

IF Cust.FINDLAST THEN

REPEAT

UNTIL Cust.NEXT(-1) = 0;

Hi Suresh,

i tried your code and even i had almost same code but result runs in loop. I want to show only single record and then the function should exit.

MESSAGE(Cust."No.");

Count1:=0;

IF Cust.FIND('+') THEN

Cust.NEXT:= -1;

i tried above and could achieve the result but it shows the record multiple times.

Nia, it will not just exit the look, you need to add the condition like this or when you get your record assign a boolean to true and add that after the next condition..

i := 0

IF Cust.FINDLAST THEN

REPEAT

i += 1;

IF i =2 THEN BEGIN

END;

UNTIL (Cust.NEXT(-1) = 0) or (i =2);

Hi Nia,

The following code will work perfectly whenever you want to find the second last record and no looping required at all. When you use my code you have to use at least 2 variables of record type for the same table. {example using the customer table}

trigger OnAction()

var

    recCust: Record Customer;

    recCust1: Record Customer;

begin

    recCust.FindLast();

    recCust1.SetFilter("No.", '<>%1', recCust."No.");

    if recCust1.FindLast() then

        Message('Customer No: ' + Format(recCust1."No.") + ', Name: ' + recCust1.Name);

end;

The above code will work, to get second the last customer you can also achieve this by using 1 record type and another code type of variable to store the customer primary key ("No.") field value to filter the Customer table for the second time.

trigger OnAction()

var

    recCust: Record Customer;

    CustomerNo: Code[20];

begin

    recCust.FindLast();

    CustomerNo := recCust."No.";

    recCust.SetFilter("No.", '<>%1', CustomerNo);

    if recCust.FindLast() then

        Message('Customer No: ' + Format(recCust."No.") + ', Name: ' + recCust.Name);

end;

I hope you understand now, how we can achieve this without iterating the records, attaching some screenshots to confirm you this is working:
