Error executing code: Wrong argument type for function SysDataBaseLog\Methods\setDescription - line 8

Posted on by Amiya Das 205

Hi,

In AX2009, i am getting following error while updating a record, please help.

 

Error executing code: Wrong argument type for function.

(S)\Data Dictionary\Tables\SysDataBaseLog\Methods\setDescription - line 8

(S)\Classes\Application\logUpdate - line 28

(S)\Classes\xRecord\update

 

The setDescription method of SysDataBaseLog table gets the TitleField1 and TitleField2 of the table being updated. My table has TitleField1 as RefRecId and TitleField2 is sysContainer type. I am updating the second field.

Regards,

Amiya

    Dear Amiya, 

    My table causing the error  was 2899 (DimensionSetCombinationDuplicate), 

    I removed the database log from this table, 

    and I could delete the company account.  

    Best regards,

    sylvia

    i don't think so but just check if database log is enable for this specific table in production.

    Thanks Vikas and Jonathan

    The code is provided by the product and no customization is made. Its working in production, but not in one of the test environment. In this environment CUS.aod was deleted by mistake and then synchornized. We restore the sql db and again put the cus.aod and sync. I suspect this might cause the issue.

    The problem boils down to the strFmt() method not supporting containers as a parameter.  As Vikas suggested, changing the TitleField2 property to a non-container field should resolve the issue.  Alternatively you could attempt to add support for containers by modifying the field2Str() helper method:

     

      str field2Str(fieldId fieldId)
        {
    // fix -->
            if (DictTable.fieldObject(fieldId).type() == Types::Container)
                return strfmt('%1', con2str(common.(fieldId)));
            else
    // fix <--
            return strfmt('%1', common.(fieldId));
        }

     

    Hope this helps.  As always, test thoroughly before you use strange code for anything important.

    Syscomtainer type field should not be a title field. Remove it and check.

    Additionally, this error is because of database log functionality on this table. Just check if u really need database logs on this transaction table for audit purpose.

    debugged the code

    its failing in dictTable.titleField2() condition while calling field2str. the second fieldid is not found in common. i have synchronized it but still getting same error. The table uses CustTables security key

    void setDescription(Common common)
    {
        DictTable dictTable = new DictTable(common.TableId);
        Description description;

        str field2Str(fieldId fieldId)
        {
            return strfmt('%1', common.(fieldId));
        }

        if (dictTable.titleField1())
        {
            description = field2Str(dictTable.titleField1());
        }

        if (dictTable.titleField2())
        {
            description += (description?',':'')+field2Str(dictTable.titleField2());
        }

        this.Description = description;
    }
