Hi:

Is there a standard baan function or dll to convert a quantity between units?

Thank you for your help

Carlos Kassab

function extern domain tcconv tiitm.dll0003.conv.factor(
domain tccprj i.cprj,
domain tcitem i.item,
domain tccitg i.citg,
domain tccuni i.basu,
domain tccuni i.unit,
...)
|
| Purpose: For a given (customized) item the conversion factor is returned.
| On three levels the conversion can be present. This routine
| will search as follows:
| 1 item level
| 2 itemgroup level
| 3 general level
| Input : - project (mandatory if it concerns a customized item)
| - itemcode, (mandatory if you want to search on item level)
| - itemgroup (not mandatory but it will speed up things)
| - base unit (not mandatory but it will speed up things,
| mandatory if you don't fill in itemcode)
| - Unit (mandatory)
| If you don't specify itemgroup or base unit this routine will
| read these fields from the item table or unit*parameter table.
| - Other available arguments:
| Number of args | Meaning
| -----------------------------------------------------------
| 5 | arg. 6 will be assumed to be true.
| 6 | When no conv. factor has been found and this
| | flag = true; '0' will be returned else '1'
| 12 | arg. 6 - 12 : all record fields (tiitm004) are
| | returned; in sequence : cprj, item,
| | citg, basu, cuni, conv.factor, rpow.
| 13 | arg. 6 -12 are the same as above.
| | arg. 13 has the same meaning as argument '6'
| Output : 0 if no factor is found else the conv. has been found.
