can i disable updating/deleting based on certain condition through program script

Hi,

Do you mean update or insert into a table? Then yes, you can do it via program script as well as using DAL. If its a standard table, you can use UE Dll.

Hi,

this can be done with so called "UI Template". This allows automatic disabling of field and commands (both standard and or form commands)

You include <bic_4gl2> in your UI script and write external functions using the naming conversion:


...
#include <bic_4gl2>
...
|Standard Command Example
function extern boolean mark.delete.is.allowed()
{
if no.delete.condition then
return(false)
endif
return(true)
}

|Form Command example
function extern boolean my.command.name.is.allowed()
{
if disable.command.condition then
return(false)
endif
return(true)
}

|Field example:
function extern boolean ppmm999.ffff.is.readonly()
{
if readonly.condition then
return(true)
endif
return(false)
}
