Understanding PeopleCode Templates
The code shown in this section is a dynamically generated PeopleCode template that you can use as a starting point. Replace all default values or <*> notations with specific values or references to valid PeopleCode variables (replace this entire three-character string: <*> ).
Note: The requirement to populate a non-create key is no longer a requirement to do the initial save.
PeopleCode runs only if you are connected. This means that you do not have to explicitly connect. Instead, connect to the existing session, using the %Session system variable.
You cannot connect to a different database through PeopleCode.
Set the PeopleSoft session error message mode. This property is used to determine how messages are output. This property takes either a numeric value or a constant. The default value is 1 (%PSMessages_CollectionOnly).
This property sets the value for the session. You can change modes during a session, for example, if you're starting a component interface. However, after you run the component interface, you should set the value back. Here is the list of modes that you can use:
|
Mode Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
0 |
Return no messages. |
|
1 |
Default. Log messages into the PSMessage collection. |
|
2 |
Display a pop-up message or dialog box. |
|
3 |
Log messages into the PSMessage collection and pop up a message dialog box. |
PeopleCode Template Notes
Get a reference to the component interface providing its name. (A runtime error occurs if the component interface does not exist.)
Set the keys for the component interface. In this example SDK_EMPLID is the Get key.
The get() method retrieves data from the database, associated with the key values.
Get and print properties at level 0.
Similar code is generated for the properties SDK_BIRTHDATE and SDK_DEPTID.
Get collection at level 1 (SDK_BUS_EXP_PER).
Get and print properties at level 1.
Similar code is generated for the properties SDK_EMPLID and SDK_BUS_EXP_SUM in the SDK_BUS_EXP_PER collection.
Get collection at level 2 (SDK_BUS_EXP_DTL).
&oSdkBusExpDtlCollection = &oSdkBusExpPer.SDK_BUS_EXP_DTL;Get and print properties at level 2.
Similar code is generated for the properties SDK_EMPID, SDK_EXP_PER_DT, SDK_EXPENSE_CD, SDK_EXPENSE_AMT, SDK_CURRENCY_CD, SDK_BUS_PURPOSE, and SDK_DEPTID.
