if in a script I use sql to update the tdsls401 (sales order lines) table, would the DAL checks be executed ? or I have to use the functions of the DAL to insert the record to the tdsls401 to have all the DAL checks done ?

Hi,

Yes to insert a record in tdsls401, DAL will be the best way to make sure all checks and validations are taken care.

Hi iscons,

you write "I use sql". When using sql scripts no DAL functionality is invoked!

DAL checks and business rules are invoked only if you use dal.*() functions in a baan-script.
