RecordSet.SaveRecord
Forums
Just a bit of an update to the information in the language browser. The language browser shows you how to perform this on one row but not on an entire database. Here is an updated example with a loop to update all the records.
Sub Main
' Open the database.
Set db = Client.OpenDatabase("Sample-Detailed Sales.IMD")
' Create the task.
Set NewField = db.TableManagement
' Obtain a reference to the table.
Set ThisTable = db.TableDef
' Create a new field.
Set MyField = ThisTable.NewField
' Configure the new field.
MyField.Name = "MyCharField"
MyField.Description = "A Sample Field"
MyField.Type = WI_EDIT_CHAR
MyField.Length = 25
MyField.Equation = " """" "
' Add the field.
NewField.AppendField MyField
NewField.PerformTask
' Obtain the RecordSet from the database.
Set rs = db.RecordSet
' Obtain the first record from the RecordSet.
rs.ToFirst
count = rs.Count
For i = 1 To count
Set rec = rs.ActiveRecord
rs.next
rec.SetCharValue "MyCharField", "A Value"
rs.SaveRecord rec
Next i
db.Close
' Clear the memory.
Set db = Nothing
Set ThisTable = Nothing
Set MyField = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
Set rec = Nothing
End Sub
Hi Jiyajijp, here is the list
Hi Jiyajijp, here is the list. Also the different type of fields need different info, such as character field needs the length while a numeric field needs the number of decimals. Probably the easiest way to do this is just open a file, go into the Field Manipulation and append the type of field that you want. Then open the history and you will see the code that you need to create that type of field.
Good luck
