Example
The following example does the following work:
- Prompts a user for an account number.
- Opens a file.
- Searches the file for the account number.
- Displays the matching letter for that number.
The CreateFile subroutine creates the c:\temp001 file that the main subroutine uses. The first subroutine uses the Kill statement to delete the file after Siebel CRM finishes processing: (general) (declarations) Option Explicit Declare Sub CreateFile Global x as Integer Global y(100) as String
Sub CreateFile ' Put the numbers 1-10 and letters A-J into a file Dim startletter Open "c:\temp001" for Output as #1 startletter = 65 For x = 1 to 10 y(x) = Chr(startletter) startletter = startletter + 1 Next x For x = 1 to 10 Write #1, x,y(x) Next x Close #1 End Sub
Sub Button_Click Dim acctno as Integer Dim msgtext Call CreateFile i: acctno = 6 If acctno<1 Or acctno>10 then Goto i: End if x = 1 Open "c:\temp001" for Input as #1 Do Until x = acctno Input #1, x,y(x) Loop msgtext = "The letter for account number " & x & " is: _ " & y(x) Close #1 kill "c:\temp001" End Sub
