I am trying to append a record in a browser by pressing a key and
automatically filling in the current date and the customer name in the
appended record. The customer name comes from a global variable. I am
trying to use the callback method RecordAppend() but I can only get it
to enter one field at a time, the date is first so that is entered but
if I comment that line out the customer name gets entered. I guess I
don't understand how this callback method works. If anyone can explain
this I would be grateful. Here is the code I am using:
METHOD RecordAppend(oEvent) CLASS dtwJob
// evaluate append mode
if oEvent:Mode=BRA_APPENDED
oEvent:Server:FIELDPUT(#JDATE,Today())
oEvent:Server:FIELDPUT(#CUSTOMER,cFName) //cFName is
global

// open edit in first column
oEvent:Control:CurrentColumn := 1
if oEvent:Control:InEdit()
oEvent:Control:EditUndo()
else
oEvent:Control:Edit()
endif
endif
return nil

IIRC you should ALWAYS return something to bBrowser other than NIL for
callback events - read the docs.

You might try adding a
oEvent:Server:commit()
before callig edit()
- really not sure you should be caliing edit from within a callback
though.

Grant,

in addition to Steve,
look at your indexes, if related to your appended fields

Hi Grant,

You will need to suspend notification events while you're appending and
updating the fields, for example:

SELF:Server:SuspendNotification()
IF SELF:Server:Append()
SELF:Server:FieldPut( ... )
SELF:Server:FieldPut( ... )
SELF:Server:Commit()
ENDIF
SELF:Server:ResetNotification()
SELF:Server:Notify( NOTIFYRECORDCHANGE )

HTH,
Amilcar A. Camargo F.

Thank you Amilcar. I added the SuaspendNotification and was able to
save more than one field at a time. I had used the commit() before
without success and as far as the Edit is concerned I was playing with
one of the bbrowser3 samples (EDIT) and it was just there. I have
removed it from my code now. Thank you others for your suggestions
also.
