OBJECT.NEW_RECORD Function

Syntax

.New_Record([table as c])

Arguments

table: Character

Description

Adds a new record to a table bound to the layout.

Enters a new record.

The <OBJECT>.NEW_RECORD() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.NEW_RECORD() method adds a new record to the table bound to a layout. This is equivalent to using the <TBL>.ENTER_BEGIN() and <TBL>.ENTER_END() methods.

Example

This script adds a new record to the table bound to the Customer form:

:customer.new_record()
:customer:last_name.value = "Jones"
:customer.commit()

This button on a form adds a new record to the table bound to an embedded browse (named Items ):

parentform:items.new_record()
parentform:items.part_no.value = "P100"
parentform:items.qty.value = 3
parentform:items.commit()

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
