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

Hello

Do you do anything with ActArtCodeOSFlag index ?
or datadef and above loop are only places with ActArtCodeOSFlag ?

Hi,
Maybe try this:
index = "ArtCode:" & INr.Code;

Note that this index is still an index on the SerNr field. So you should start with that as -1.

Note also the following code in master:

function LongInt ORVcRecordInIndex(record ORVc ORr,string indexname)

if (ORr.OSFlag==0) then begin
if (indexname=="ActArtCodeOSFlag") then begin res = 0; end;
end;

So only records with OSFlag <> 0 will be listed in that particular index.
