AppendMatrixFieldToKeyName

In some datadefs, AppendMatrixFieldToKeyName is used to allow searching for a record containing a particular matrix field, without having to loop through the rows. For example, POVc has this index:


SubsetKeyBegin2(ActArtCodeOSFlag);

StoreInBaseKey;
AppendMatrixFieldToKeyName(ArtCode,0);
KeySegment(SerNr);


I have written a procedure which loops through POVc looking for those containing a specific item, but it returns no results even though I have a purchase order with the specified item. Below is the code I am using. Any idea what might be wrong?

TrHs = true;
index = "ActArtCodeOSFlag:" & INr.Code;
ResetLoop(POr);
while (LoopKey(index,POr,1,TrHs)) begin
if (TrHs) then begin

trace(POr.SerNr,POr.TransDate);


Thanks

Paul

I would like to know what BackgroundHALShouldPause does, and how to use it. While it's listed in the HAL Primitives report, it is not used in source code and it doesn't appear in the LMS HAL...
