How to delete a manually created numberseq

Posted on by Lakshmi Karambakkam 1,307

Hi,

I have an uneditable master table and new records must be inserted only through New Button.

A dialog box is called in new button\clicked method. Dialog has two string fields, (Name and Description).

After the fields are set and clicked OK,

I have to insert the record in the master table.

ttsBegin;;

        WorkStation.clear();

        WorkStation.initValue();

        WorkStation.StationName     = dlgStationName.value();

        WorkStation.WSDescription   = dlgDescription.value();

        numberseqId                 = NumberSeqReference::findReference(ExtendedTypeNum(SMCStationId)).numberSequenceId;

        numberSeq                   = NumberSeq::newGetNumFromId(numberseqId);

        WorkStation.StationId       = numberSeq.num();   

if(WorkStation.validatewrite());

                WorkStation.insert();

ttscommit;

But if the validation is throwing error, the numberseq created is not reverting back.

Could someone explain me how to revert the numberseq?

 

 

Thanks,

Lakshmi

    Hi Lakshmi,

    This is standard behavior. If the number sequence supports continuous, you can use the optional parameter _makeDecisionLater when retrieving a new number in the NumberSeq class.

    Then after the insert you need to add the next statement: numberSeq.used();

    This will ensure the status of the number will be finalized then.

    please find link

    dynamicsaxinsight.wordpress.com/.../generate-next-number-sequence-in-code

    As andre told, you have to used  numberSeq.used();// If everything is successful, and the number should be persisted

    and

    numberSeq.abort();// If something went wrong later, and the number should be cleared

    HNextRec_5F00_InNumberSeqTable.png"color:#00008b;font-family:Consolas;font-size:xx-small;">boolean parmMakeDecisionLater(boolean _makeDecisionLater)

    {

    makeDecisionLater = false;

    return makeDecisionLater;

    }

    So even though I set makeDecisionlater as true, it is not considering it.

    Please let me know how to solve this.

     

    Thanks,

    So even after abort, the number is generating a new number, but not using the last released number

    I made the number sequence continuous, so now its taking makeDecisionLater parameter

    as TRUE.

    I used TRY CATCH to handle insertion, because if validation throws error, we need catch statement to abort and retrieve the numberseq  back.

    Thanks for everyone who helped.
