SetData method: Chart class

Syntax

SetData({Record_Name | &Rowset})

Description

Use the SetData method to specify where the data from the chart is coming from.

You can use either a record name or an already instantiated, populated rowset. In general, specify a record when building a chart from page data and a rowset when building a chart from a standalone rowset.

If you make a change to the underlying data of a chart, call the SetData method again to update the chart.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Record_Name	Specify the name of a record to be used to populate the chart with data.
&Rowset	Specify the name of an already instantiated rowset to populate the chart with data. This is generally a standalone rowset.

Returns

None.

Example

The following is the minimum code you need to create a PeopleSoft chart.

Local Chart &MyChart;

&MyChart = GetChart(ABS_HIST.CHART);
&MyChart.SetData(ABS_HIST);
&MyChart.SetDataYAxis(ABS_HIST.Reason);
&MyChart.SetDataXAxis(ABS_HIST.Duration);

The following example creates a chart using a standalone rowset.

Function IScript_GetChartURL()
local object &MYCHART;
local string &MYURL;
local rowset &MYROWSET;

&MYCHART = CreateObject("Chart");

&MYROWSET = CreateRowset(Record.ABS_HIST);

&EmplID = %Emplid;

&MYROWSET.Fill("Where EMPLID :=1", &EmplID);

&MYCHART.SetData(&MYROWSET);
&MYCHART.SetDataXAxis(ABS_HIST.ABSENCE_TYPE);
&MYCHART.SetDataYAxis(ABS_HIST.DURATION_DAYS);

&MYURL = %Response.GetChartURL(&MYCHART);

/* use &MYURL in your application */
...
End-Function;
