What is DALUPDATE(qmptc120,true)
--> in capital letters!

standing for? Does ist make an update to qmptc120 table?

Where is it defined ?

Where is it defined?in bic_dal and here (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_db_operations_dal_update), i suppose...?

So it is a short for dal.update() ?

Usually the use of CAPITALS means that they have a #define for it somewhere, and it probably just maps to call the dal.update command, and defaults the rest of the parameters. Would need to find it to be sure. It may be in your main script, but may also be in an include, including an addition to tools somewhere..

Hi lbencic,

thanks. I'm pretty sure, that it is a u described. Nevertheless I tried a Unix grep over all our sources. But I can't find the right "define" (OK we don't own all sources).
So I take it as it is, and say DALUPDATE() stands for dal.update(). Should be enough for me, because I just tried to find out where the update of a certain table field occurs.

(Costs me a day, to follow all this DAL and DLL cals :mad: in that case)

Please tell us where you found this, in what script?

Strange, the leave the DAL qmptc120 to go to "qmptc.dll0010.update.inspection.results(...)". There they execute the "DALUPDATE(qmptc120,true)" I asked for.

Found it!
DAL qmptc120 "Inspections by Origin":#include "itcmcs2000" |* DAL Support DefinesFunction tcmcs2000 "General DAL(-GUI) support defines (macro's)":|* DALNEW(CLS,...), DALDESTROY(CLS,...), DALUPDATE(CLS,...)
|* FUNC value is derived from CLASS
|* early returns when DALHOOKERROR
#define DALUPDATE(CLS,...)
^ dal.update("##CLS##", t##CLS##, tcmcs2000.dal.error, ...)
^ if tcmcs2000.dal.error then
^ return(tcmcs2000.dal.error)
^ endif

Hi Ome,

thanks a lot. I completely forgot to grep in functions :D
