Hi everyone, Im back again!

I have recently used some scripting on a button which opens a new session and passes over some values, I want to do the same but instead of froma button, I want to do this from a field zoom....

here something similar I used on the button....

choice.user.0:
on.choice:
zoom.trno = tssma906.trno
export("zoom.trno", zoom.trno)

zoom.to$("tssma9135m000", z.session, "tssma9135m000", "", 0)


Any ideas wherei should be putting this for the field zoom?

Cheers

Main sections are:

field.<fieldname>:

field.all:

field.other:


The available subsections within this main sections, related to zoom are:

before.zoom:

after.zoom:

excellent, thanks for this, will try straight away...

:)

kammie

I have entered this in the session that I am zooming from, on the field....

*************************************************
field.tssma906.scdid:
before.zoom:
zoom.stdt = tssma906.tsdt
zoom.cust = tssma906.cust
zoom.to$("tssma9131m000", z.session, "tssma9106m000", "", 0)
*************************************************

then on the session being opened, I have entered this.....

*************************************************
|****************forms****************************

form.all:
init.form:

zoom.from.tssma9106m000:
on.entry:
import("zoom.cust", zoom.cust)
import("zoom.stdt", zoom.stdt)
*************************************************
|****************fields****************************

field.tssma931.cust:
before.input:
tssma931.cust = zoom.cust


field.tssma931.stdt:
before.input:
tssma931.stdt = zoom.stdt
************************************************

Obviously I have declared the zooms as extern domains, but is there something I am missing?

The scripts compile with no errors, but the values are not being passed across.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Have you tried to put your destination session in debug mode and make sure that the "zoom.from" is executing and the variables are being populated? To be honest, I have never put a zoom.to in a before.zoom field section, but I suppose it still work (does it zoom twice?). The importing piece looks good. What value does zoomfield$ have?

Ed

I have run in debug, and it is picking up the point where the line in the code says....

field = zoom.name

but it is not populating...

Maybe you need to do a display(fieldname) after assigning the zoom value to your field.

MG.

I need to declare the zoom.names in the Called session, otherwise the script will not compile, telling me that the zooms are not declared.

Here is the script thus far...

***********************************************

import("zoom.stdt", zoom.stdt)


|******************choices*****************

zoom.to$("tssma9137m000", z.session, "tssma9131m000", "", 0)


|************************fields********************

field.tssma931.scdid:
before.input:
If tssma931.scdid <> 0 then
attr.input = false
endif

get.first.free.number()

field.tssma931.cust:
before.input:
tssma931.cust = zoom.cust


field.tssma931.stdt:
before.input:
tssma931.stdt = zoom.stdt

I just want to be clear on the symptoms. If you are in debug mode in the called session and stop on the field line with the "tssma931.cust = zoom.cust" assignment, if you check the value of zoom.cust, does it show the right value? Immediately after executing that line, however, tssma931.cust does not? I don't see how that could happen, but to be sure maybe you can put a dummy line after that so you can stop the debugger and check the field value.

I shall do now, let me just check, I am running the debug, on the session that is called.

Is that correct?

You wrote: when the called session is in debug mode, it is picking up at the line in the code says: field = zoom.name

That's are incorrect situation because, when everything goes right, the debugger should pick up at the line import(.....)

At the moment I do not have any sources available, so I can not check my own creations...

The manual says about main sections:

zoom.from.<zoom name>:

Each field name has a name that can be used as a zoom name. You can specify the zoom name in this main section. The zoom name indicates which field the current session is zoomed from.

So I would suggest that you try the following in the called session:

zoom.from.tssma906.scdid:
on.entry:
import(...)
import(...)

Kammie

I am currently performing the import on the form section...

|***********************forms************************

form.all:
init.form:

zoom.from.tssma9106m000:
on.entry:
import("zoom.cust", zoom.cust)
import("zoom.stdt", zoom.stdt)

***************************************************

Should it actually be like this?

|***********************forms************************

form.all:
init.form:

zoom.from.tssma906.scdid:
on.entry:
import("zoom.cust", zoom.cust)
import("zoom.stdt", zoom.stdt)

***************************************************


Cheers

I have tried this both on the form.all and main.table...




main.table.io:
zoom.from.tssma9106.scdid:
on.entry:
import("zoom.cust", zoom.cust)
import("zoom.stdt", zoom.stdt)

It does not error when compiled either way, but it is not pushing the values across....

Any ideas?

Cheers

Guys

Just to give you an update...

I have decided against scripting on the form zoom.

I have now removed the field and added a field to the called section which will give the link.

Now I am using a button which forces over the values.

Cheers
