Discussion

The APPEND.RUN_SILENT() method appends data using a previously defined append operation.

If you specify an optional filter argument, the filter is applied in addition to any filter that may have been defined as Part of the Operation. (You can check to see if a filter is defined as Part of an Operation by editing the saved operation, and selecting the "Select records" menu item.)

Example

The following example runs the Append Customer saved operation and displays a warning dialog box.

append.run_silent("Append Customer", "Lastname < 'Z'")

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
