New ID

Hi, can anyone help me? I need to define in my local application, if user press F3 button, to generate ID using my routine.

hey!

In the table AUTO.ID.START you should create a record for your application.

After that, you have to add your application to the 13th field in the corresponding COMPANY record.

give that a try...

Thank you for reply. I know this way, but this method will autoincrement my ID. In my case, I want to create ID myself in another way than incrementation.

ok,

then... you can attach your routine to the CHECK.ID stage in your application and create a new ID with your way.

Have you checked that?

Yes, I know, that on CHECK.ID I can generate new ID, but how can I define, if user wants to create new ID, or he want to edit existing one?

Auto ID will get generated only when you press F3.



You can put a condition inside your CHECK.ID block like



IF COMI EQ C.F THEN
GOSUB GENREATE.AUTO.ID
END



I hope there may be some other alternate way to do the same.

Hi again...

Another way to make it work is to use the ECOMI variable instead of COMI, because COMI didn´t work for me.

cheers

Hi, thank you for your advices.
Unfortunly both of your variants doesnot work for me, because the system tryes to generate ID before CHECK.ID stage, and in CHECK.ID stage COMI equals ID, generated by the system.

So, currently I've use some workaround for that case: Instead of calling application with command 'MY.APP I F3', I'm call it using, e.g. 'MY.APP I XXXXXX', and in CHECK.ID stage I've check IF COMI EQ 'XXXXXX' and than I generate new ID.
