Hi Experts

label.desc = tt.field.desc("whina000.mvst")

In the above statement, is it possible to get the value of the field (whina000.mvst) description in label.desc variable since tt.field.desc function return void?

Please guide.

Thanks
Best Regards :)

The syntax see is:
Syntax

void tt.field.desc( string field(17), ref string desc() mb)

Description

This retrieves information about a specified table field.

Arguments

field The field name.
desc This returns the field description.

So the format would be tt.field.desc("whina000.mvst",label.desc)


This needs to be moved to the tools forum.

It seems to me that Infor changed the syntax of this specific function in LN. I'll quote the reference given in the latest programmers guide (Dec 2010):

"Syntax:
function string tt.field.desc (string field(17), ref string desc() mb)

Description

This retrieves information about a specified table field. It is returned, and optionally also stored in the desc argument. (The optional argument is only present for backwards compatibility.)


Arguments
string field(17) The field name.

ref string desc() mb This returns the field description in the user's current language.

Return values
The description is returned."

So i think theres no general change in handling of void-type functions.

Thanks Andreas. .....I found that in LN help.
