CopyFields function

Syntax

CopyFields(from, to)

where from and to are constructions that reference rows of data on specific source and target records in the component buffer; each have the following syntax:

level, scrollpath, target_row

and where scrollpath is:

[RECORD.level1_recname, level1_row, [RECORD.level2_recname, level2_row, ]] RECORD.target_recname

To prevent ambiguous references, you can also use SCROLL. scrollname, where scrollname is the same as the scroll level’s primary record name.

Description

Use the CopyFields function to copy like-named fields from a row on the specific source record to a row on the specific target record.

Note:

This function remains for backward compatibility only. Use the CopyFieldsTo or CopyChangedFieldsTo record class methods instead.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
from	A placeholder for a construction (level, scrollpath, target_row) that references the first row in the comparison.
to	A placeholder for a construction (level, scrollpath, target_row) that references the second row in the comparison.
level	Specifies the scroll level for the target level scroll.
scrollpath	A construction that specifies a scroll level in the component buffer.
target_row	Specifies the row number of each target row on its scroll level.

Returns

Optionally returns a Boolean value indicating whether the function succeeded.

Example

The following example copies fields from PO_RECEIVED_INV (level 1 scroll) from row &ROW to PO_RECV_INV_VW (level 1 scroll), row &LOC_ROW:

CopyFields(1, RECORD.PO_RECEIVED_INV, &ROW, 1, RECORD.PO_RECV_INV_VW, &LOC_ROW);
