Hi,

Is this scenario possible in Baan that i can create a field on Form containing values which are extracted from a table.

actually i want a Enum variable field on Form but the Enum's Values should be derived from a table. e.g. I want a Enum field on form which contains Employee Names for all the employees so that user can select the name & can execute on basis of selected value.

please help.

This is not possible in Baan. You have to use the Baan "zoom" mechanism instead. You have to put the appropriate display session (in your case for example session tccom0501s000) in the field definition on the form.

Hi,
You can enable auto zoom on the field. which would automatically take you to the zoom.

You could do a drop down boxes can be done in Baan. Search this forum and see how it can be done - If you do not find any threads let me know and I will search for it. I am not sure what the constraints are, but this could work in place of what you are thinking.

I think you can use ttstpzoom list for this instance. I think there are some differences in the usage from BaaN-4 to BaaN-5 series.

Here is a sample code-

before.zoom:
wait.and.activate( "ottstpzoomlist",|* Zoom list program
blcn.code.count, |* Number of items
BLCN.COL, |* Column
BLCN.ROW, |* Row
current.window(), |* Current Window
blcn.choice.desc) |* List
if g.exit.menu then
zttnt900.blcn = blcn.choice.code(1,g.exit.menu)
blcn.choice = blcn.choice.desc(1,g.exit.menu)
display("blcn.choice")
endif
choice.again()

Hej,

could you please describe the fields that you pass on to "ottstpzoomlist" a bit close. I tired to run it simular to your example but i always get the following error:

object [number] in process [number] not found
Float exception in ottstpzoomlist

Thx. :confused:

Found it.

Very nice function.

:D :D :D

Hi Veyant,
Here is the program that you can use as guide lines., It works in Baan IV. Basically update the card.name and it can be through a table. In program below I am generating a list for name of credit cards. You can get more information in this forum. I found this in this forum almost 3 years before.

create.list.box()


listbox.choice = handle.listbox(0,0,list.total,card.name)
tdbgn055.type = card.name(1,listbox.choice)


function create.list.box()
{
for list.total = 1 to 4
on case list.total
case 1:
card.name(1,(list.total)) = "VISA"
break

case 2:
card.name(1,list.total ) = "MASTER"
break

case 3:
card.name(1,list.total ) = "AMERICAN EXPRESS"
break

case 4:
card.name(1,list.total ) = "DISCOVER"
break
endcase
endfor
| card.name(1,1) = "--Choose Card--"
| list.total = 4
list.total = 4
}
