Transfer Data from a Temporary Table to a Normal Table

Hello,

I have a table that calcs data into a temp table when it opens, however, I need to print some of this data based on if the user checks a box. I could not get a report to reference this data, so we agreed we needed a archive table anyway. So now I want to be able to archive the temp records into a normal table, then I can call a report for that.

In short - how do I transferfields from a temp table to a non temp table?

Thanks,

You can just look through the temporary record set and use TRANSFERFIELDS or assign to create records. For ex:

IF TempCustomer.FINDSET THEN

REPEAT

Customer.TRANSFERFIELDS(TempCustomer);

Customer."No." := '';

Customer.INSERT(TRUE);

TempCustomer.NEXT = 0;

Regarding the report, you base a report based on the temporary table, you can use the Integer DataITem for it.

Yea its not working I get this error. but im also pretty sure if i call the variable FP_FinanceWorksheetLine record it will be empty since thats a temp table.

    procedure ArchiveFinanceOptions();

    var

    FP_FinanceWorksheetLine: Record FP_FinanceWorksheetLine;

    FP_FinanceOptionsArchive: Record FP_FinanceOptionsArchive;

    FP_FinanceOptionsArchiveList: Page FP_FinanceOptionsArchive;

    NextEntryNo: Integer;

    begin

        NextEntryNo:=FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.GetRangeMax("Entry No.");

        FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.SetRange("Archive Line",true);



        if FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.FindSet then repeat

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.TransferFields(FP_FinanceWorksheetLine);

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive."Entry No.":=NextEntryNo+1;

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.Insert;



        until FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.Next=0;

    end;

You cannot use GetRangeMax that way, you use that function when you specify the filter. Use find last to get the last entry no.

seems like it still is not working. It is not entering any data into the archive table.

FP_WorksheetLine is the temp table that has the data in it I want to archive. The procedure to archive is on the Worksheet page. In the below snip i get no worksheet lines are found.

    procedure ArchiveFinanceOptions();

    var

    FP_FinanceWorksheetLine: Record FP_FinanceWorksheetLine;

    FP_FinanceOptionsArchive: Record FP_FinanceOptionsArchive;

    FP_FinanceOptionsArchiveList: Page FP_FinanceOptionsArchive;

    NextEntryNo: Integer;

    begin

        if FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.FindLast then

        NextEntryNo:=FP_FinanceOptionsArchive."Entry No.";

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.Reset;

        FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.SetRange(Modified,false);

        FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.SetFilter("Entry No.",'<>0');



        if FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.FindSet then repeat

        Error('found a worksheet line');

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.TransferFields(FP_FinanceWorksheetLine);

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive."Entry No.":=NextEntryNo+1;

        FP_FinanceOptionsArchive.Insert;



        until FP_FinanceWorksheetLine.Next=0;

        Error('No Worksheet Lines Found');

    end;

FP_FinanceWorksheetLine this variable doesn't seem like a temporary, if the worksheet page table is the source, then use that. You are creating a new variable which is not the temporary

The worksheet line is the temp table and the page was set to sourcetabletemp=true.
