Hi Guys,

I have a form & table called CommissionTrans where I have the dropdown field settlementId. I need to select the SettlementId for each transactions manually on this form . I have to add a validation that I should be able to select one settlementId for one transaction only. If I select the same ID for next transaction it should show an error that its already used for another transaction. how can I do it ? which validation method to be added and how the code should be.

RE: Validation on the fields

Don't use a regular button with clicked(). Use a command button with Command = OK and override closeOk(). The validation can be done in canClose(). Nevertheless removing all the code and using a lookup form would likely be a better approach. Then you would use validateWrite() and or validateField() as discussed before.

I don't know what's the purpose the while select + delete; it looks suspicious. And the fact there is no condition must be a bug.

If you really need some deletion, remember never put any code like this on client. It meaninglessly fetches all CommissionTransSettlement records from database to client just to send delete commands (one by one) back to database. It's a performance killer. It's made even worse by the long-living transaction created on client. *If* you need this logic, put it in a server-side method and replace the while select with delete_from.

RE: Validation on the fields

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

I Just made some changes in the requirement as I created a new child form (CommissionTransSettlement) and I would like to select the settlement Id from the child form. In this case I am trying to modify the clicked method already there on the button from where I can select the SettlementId. how can I call the function validatefield() created on the table commissiontrans on this form.

void clicked()

{

commissionTrans CommissionTrans;

super();

ttsbegin;

while select forUpdate CommissionTransSettlement

{

CommissionTransSettlement.Delete();

}

ttscommit;

ttsbegin;

select forUpdate CommissionTrans

where CommissionTrans.InvoiceId == CommissionTransSettlement.InvoiceId

&& CommissionTrans.EmplId == CommissionTransSettlement.EmplId ;

CommissionTrans.SettlementId = CommissionTransSettlement.SettlementId;

CommissionTrans.update();

ttscommit;

element.close();

}

RE: Validation on the fields

Which method you should use depends on when you want to run the validation. For example, if you want to do it on save, override validateWrite() method on the table.

Simply a run a query to check whether there already is another transaction with the same settlement ID and return false if it is. You'll likely want to create an index on SettlementId, to make this query efficient.
