How to use the content of a variable as a "dictionary prefix"? 1

[daikos]

Hi Everyone.

Can you tell me how to use the content of a variable as a "dictionary prefix"?

Please, allow me to explain what I want to do.

Today when I want to save or update data I use:

[...]
Access:TableName.Insert() or Access:TableName.Update()

What I want to do now is something like that:

! GLO:TableName is a String(20) field

GLO:TableName = 'Employee'
[...]
Access:GLO:TableName.Insert() or Access:GLO:TableName.Update()

But, in this case the compiler shows Syntax error: Field not found:INSERT and Unknown funcion label.

Best Regards

Hi!

You cannot use it that way but you can always use a Reference Class and achieve it i.e.

Data Section ::

MyFM       &FileManager
MyRM       &RelationManager

Code Section ::

CASE GLO:TableName
OF 'Employee'
  MyFM &= Access:Employee
  MyRM &= Relate:Employee
OF 'Customer'
  MyFM &= Access:Customer
  MyRM &= Relate:Customer
...
END

MyFM.Insert()

MyRM.Update()
