Hello,

I need to use the session ttstpcalendar as zoom of a date field and I don´t know the return field of this session.

Could you help me?

Thanks

I dont know which BaaN version you are working upon.

I am on the BaaN-5.2, if you have the date/time fields in the form fields you automatically get the data/time zooming options.

I tried once to get ttstpcalendar to work as a zoom and could never figure it out. It seemd to lock the session. I searched by old baanfans digest and could not find anything about this. I was able to convince my users that when in a date field, then could just use tools/calendar option from the menu bar.

Hope someone has a better answer. By the way we are on 4c3 and do not get the zooms that NPR mentions.

In a date field, can't you just hit Cntl-Shift-Z to get the calendar to execute? Or, maybe it's Cntl-Alt-Z? Even on 4C3 Mark!

Actually on our system ctrl-shift-z only works in the query by forms. When using a session and a date field the "f2" key works for me. Not sure how all the other systems or versions of Baan work.

The zoom to ttstpcalendar works also in 5b.

You find the return value in g.value.

I give you a small program code:

long year, month, day

if type.of.field() = DB.ENUM then
activate(ottstpcalendar)
repeat
until g.value > 0

num.to.date(g.value, year, month, day)
endif

Han Brinkman,

How do I get it working for Baan 5.0b?? Do I have to set the date field as a zoom field? Are there shortcuts to be used?

Oh ok, got it; just by standing on the date field and hitting 'f2'. I didn't figure it out first, because I have Baan shortcut functions on the 'f' keys, including 'f2'...
