passing an array of data as a parameter

[jalz]

Hi Guys,
I'm playing with data grids, and I want to take a line of data and pass that data to another command in another stack called CustomerContactEdit. I can seem to pass a single parameter such as in this case FirstName but what I can't seem to pass is the entire tRecordA and process

Code: Select all

on EditRecord pLineNumber
   local tLine, tRecordA, tRecordId

   put the dgDataOfLine[pLineNumber] of me into tRecordA
   
   put tRecordA["firstname"] into tFirstName
   answer tFirstName 
   
   --CustomerContactEdit tFirstName   
   CustomerContactEdit tRecordA
end EditRecord

-- this code is in another stack

command CustomerContactEdit pRecordA
   
   put tRecordA["contactID"] into tContact
   put tRecordA["firstname"] into tFirstname
   put tRecordA["lastname"] into tSurname
   
   answer tFirstname
   
   return the result
end CustomerContactEdit

Anyone advise me how to get the data that belongs to the entire record across to the command?

Thanks

Hi.

An array will come over just fine as a passed parameter.

What happens if you step through the code? I made a modified test of your script with a DG and a button, and everything works as advertised.

Hi again,

I stopped my test a little early. Check out your "CustomerContactEdit " handler, you pass the array to the handler through the local variable "pRecordA". But you then use the array variable "tRecordA". Typo?

Hi Craig,

Yes Typo, I've changed everything to pRecordA now, but still not working. Whats the best way to step through code. I presume I need to turn on Script Debug mode, but haven't figured out how do I get to step through the actual code?

Thanks

Hi Craig,

Got it working and also walked through the script debugger. Thanks for the tip and heads up
