Use AOT query in x++

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AXT 1,699

I created a query in the AOT. Now i want to use this query in x++ code but without writing the code for the datasource(s) incl. Joins (inner, outer), ranges, etc. again.

I was able to set the query:
query = new Query(queryStr(MyAOTQuery));

but i don't want to set the datasource again:
queryDs = query.dataSourceTable(tablenum(MyAOTTable));

because it's already defined in the AOT query. I'm just looking for a way to read the complete AOT query in x++ to use it.

Any ideas how to set this up?

    OK, you could also call myTable = qr.getNo(1); to get the record by datasource index instead of table ID. But I prefer the first approach.

    myTable variable is necessary to cast Common (return type of both get()/getNo()) to your table, so you can use fields etc. It the same thing as if you have a method returning Object instance, but you know what the real type is so you cast that object to the proper type.

    If you don't need the casting (because you just want to send the record to another process or to save its RecId), you can avoid the myTable variable. But that's not a common case.

    Martin,

    Thanks for your answer. What i still do not understand is why i have to specify the table name:

    MyAOTTable myTable
    tableNum(MyAOTTable)

    When i create a new QueryRun instance i'm already referring to the query that exists in the AOT. So why AX does not know the datasource?

    It's not clear what you want to do with the query.
    You can simply create a QueryRun instance and run your query:

    QueryRun qr = new QueryRun(query);
MyAOTTable myTable;
while (qr.next())
{
    myTable = qr.get(tableNum(MyAOTTable));
}

    By the way, dataSourceTable() in your code doesn't create a new datasource, it reads the one you defined in AOT. You would add new datasource by calling addDataSource().
