Restrictions on Invoking Functions in Certain PeopleCode Events

Because AddAttachment, DetachAttachment, MAddAttachment, and ViewAttachment are interactive, they are known as “think-time” functions. This means that these functions should not be used in any of the following PeopleCode events:

  • SavePreChange

  • SavePostChange

  • Workflow

  • RowSelect

  • Any PeopleCode event that initiates as a result of a Select or SelectNew method, or any of the ScrollSelect functions.

If you want to transfer files in a non-interactive mode with functions that aren't think-time functions, see GetAttachment and PutAttachment.
