TSTRUCT FUNCTIONS:
62)HideFrame(FrameNo int, Boolean) HideFrame(FrameNo , {T}) hides the frame HideFrame(FrameNo , {f}) will not hide the frame 63)MakeTreeId:(not in use) 64)setValue(String FieldName,int rowno, String value) Set the value for the given field at the given row to the given value. Example: setValue({item},2,a1) sets the value to a1. 65)GetSqlValue(Sqltext,String Colname) Same as FireSql. 66)SetProperty(String fname, Propertyname, String value) Sets the property with the given value for the field given by fname. PropertyName could be any of the following Readonly visible ModeOfEntry SQL Caption Suggestive Expression ValidateExpression FontName FontSize FontColor

- FontStyle - Color - Decimals Example: {OnFormLoad} flag := iif(Authorised={Yes}, {F}, {T}) SetProperty({DocNo}, {ReadOnly}, flag) 67)SetSequence(FieldName, Prefix:String) Sets the sequence from the next number should be generated for an autogenerated field. Note : The functions related to numbering sequence viz SetSequence & SetExtSequence cannot be used in OnFormLoad. Moreover, the case of the parameters should exactly match the ones defined in the tables. That is, if the field name is defined in lowercase, the field name should be in lower case in these functions also. Example : Consider a TStruct that has a field name Type. This can have values A or B. If it is A, then the DocNo field following this field should have the 'AAA-' sequence selected. If type is not A, then the sequence for DocNo should be 'BBB-'. {OnExit Type} seq := iif(Type = {A}, {AAA-}, {BBB-}) SetSequence({DocNo}, Seq) 68)ResetActivecomp() Use this function if some of the components are hidden using the SetProperty function in an expression set. This will focus on the next visible component. 69)LoadTempFile(FileName) Loads the data the given filename into the transaction form. This data should have been stored by the "Save To File" option in the transaction form. 70)DeleteTempFile(FileName) Deletes the temporary file in which a transaction data has been stored. The temporary file should have been created by the "Save to file" option.

71)ActivateField(Fieldname, RowNo) This function will set the focus on the given field and rowno. This function can be used in an expression set to set focus conditionally on a field. Example {onexit docid} ActivateField({CustCode}, 1) The above expression set will set focus to the customer name field when exit from the Docid field. 72)AllowFrameChange(FrameNo, Allow) This function will disallow changes to any field in the given frameno if Allow is f. It allows changes if allow is t. This can be used in an expression set to set a frame readonly. Example To disallow modification of fields in first frame in modification mode set the expression set as follows : {AfterLoadData} AllowFrameChange(1, {f}) 73)AllowFieldChange(FieldName, Allow) Changes to a given field will be disallowed if Allow is f & vice versa if allow is t. This can be used in an expression set to set a field readonly. Example To disallow modification of the rate field data entry operators, use the following expression set. {OnFormLoad} c := iif(usercategory = {data entry}, {f}, {t}) AllowFieldChange({Rate}, c) FieldName could be 'FrameNo='. In this case all the fields in the frame will be set to readonly if flag is false. This will work like AllowFrameChange. However, this will allow deletion of rows. The advantage of using this is that all the fields in a frame can be set to read only and with another call to AllowFieldChange, specific fields could be made editable. Example : Consider a grid frame with 20 columns. If user A logs in only 2 columns name Qty & Rate should be editable in modification mode. This can be achieved by giving an expression set as

follows : {OnFormLoad} flag := iif(username = {a} & recordid > 0, {F}, {T}) AllowFieldChange({FrameNo=2}, {flag}) AllowFieldChange({Qty}, {T}) AllowFieldChange({Rate}, {T})

74)PrintDocNames
This is a variable which can be set in an expression set. The document names that need to be printed can be set in this variable. If there are more than one document, it can be given as a comma seperated string. If this variable is set, the print format selection window will not pop up. Example : 1.. PrintDocNames := {printform1, printform2} 2.. PrintDocNames := iif(usercategory = {data entry}, { printform1}, {printform1, printform2}) 75)ExecuteOption(Caption) This function can be used in an expression set to execute any functionality associated with any button in the Transaction form. The button caption is sent as a parameter to that function. Example : {OnDCEnter Grid Frame} ExecuteOption({FillGrid}) FillGrid is the caption of a button in the Tstruct. 76)RefreshFrame(FrameNo) This function will refresh all the fields in a frame. In case of a grid frame all the rows will be refreshed. 77)InitGrid(FrameNo) Delete all rows from a grid frame given by frameno. 78)GetOld(FieldName, RowNo)

This function will return the old value of the given field & row. This is valid only when a transaction is modified. The old value is the value that was stored in the database before the transaction was loaded for modification. 79)GetOldId(FieldName, Rowno) This function will return the old id value of the given field & row. 80)SQLRegVar(SQLText) This function will register the result of the SQL for using them in expressions. The SQL result should have the following columns :VarName VarType VarValue The function will register the given varname with the varvalue. For example if the SQL result is as follows VarName a1 a2 a3 VarType n c d VarValue 100.00 abc 01/04/2004

Three variables will be registered as follows : a1 = 100.00 a2 = abc a3 = 01/04/2004 Now these, vars could be used in expressions. 82)CheckStock(ItemId, OldItemId, DocDate, ldDocDate,PlusOrMinus,

Qty,OldQty)
This function will check if enough stock is available to carry out the transaction for the given ItemId as on given DocDate for the Qty. In case of modification mode, the old values will be used if the modification can be allowed. The function will return T if the transaction can be allowed or else a message will be returned. 83)AllowedUserNames This is a system variable. The sequence window allows users to both select & edit the sequences. In case there is a need to allow only certain users/user categories to modify or add to sequence list,it can be achieved as follows {OnFormLoad} AllowedUserNames := {user1,user2} In case the control has be set on user categories then {OnFormLoad} AllowedUserCategories := {usercategory1, usercategory2}

84)EnableButton(caption, flag) Any button in a TStruct can be conditionally enabled/disabled. For example to disable the save button if user1 has logged in and enable it other wise, define an expression set as follows {onformload} f := iif(username = {user1}, {F}, {T}) enablebutton({save}, f) 85)GetSubTotal(FieldName, ParentRow) This function can be used in TStructs to get the total of any field from a sub form into a field in parent grid. The field given by fieldname (which is to be in the sub form) is summed and returned. Only rows related to the given parentrow will be summed. Example : In accounts voucher, to get the sum of costamount and store in another column in the accounts grid set the expression as follows : GetSubTotal({CostAmount}, ActiveRow) 86)RoudedDiff(FieldName, RowNo, RoundTo) This function will round off the value in fieldname to the nearest whole number based on the value given in RoundTo. The difference between the rounded value and the actual value will be returned by this function. If rowno is greater than zero then all the values in the column till Rowno will be cumulated and then rounded. Example : Consider the amount column in a grid in a TStruct. This needs to be cumulated and rounded of to the nearest rupee. The difference has be got into the roundoff field. To do this an expression as below can be defined for the roundoff field RoundedDiff({Amount}, -1, 100) If the cumulation has to be done till acitverow then the expression would be RoundedDiff({Amount}, ActiveRow-1, 100) 87)SetSystemVar(Varname, Value)

Any of the system vars can be changed from a TStruct. This can be done by using the SetSystemVar function. 88)ExternalSave(MapName) This function will save data in another TStruct. The Mapname is the name of a ESMap.

89)TrimVal(Value: string)
Returns a trimmed value of the given string. Example : TrimVal({ abc }) returns abc. 90)GetLength(value : string) Returns the length of the string. Example : GetLength({xyz}) returns 3. 91)FormatAmount(Value,DecLen:numeric,withComma,MillionRep,Neg

ativeRep,PositiveRep : String)
This will format the number given in Value parameter. DecLen is number of decimals. WithComma - if {T} will insert commas. MillionRep - if {T} will insert commas as it is in a millions system. NegativeRep - if {br} then shows negative amounts within parenthesis else appends the given string to the negative number. PositiveRep - if {br} then shows negative amounts within parenthesis else appends the given string to the positive number. Example : FormatAmount(100000, 2, {F},{F}, {br}, {}) -> 100000.00 FormatAmount(-100000, 2, {F},{F}, {br}, {}) -> (1,00,000.00) FormatAmount(100000, 2, {F},{F}, {Cr}, {}) -> 1,00,000.00 Cr

FormatAmount(100000, 2, {T}, {T},{}, {Db}) -> 100,000.00 Db 92)FormatAccAmount(Value,DecLen:numeric, withComma,

ALIE - could have a value a,l,i or e. A stands for Assets, l for Liability, i for income & e for Expense. For Assets & Expenses value greater than zero is considered as positive & less than zero is considered as negative. For Liabilities & Income, value < 0 is considered as positive & > 0 is considered as negative. Rep - if {br}, negative amounts will be enclosed in parenthesis else the string will be appended to the negative amount. For Example: FormatAccAmount(100000,2,{f},{T},{A},{br}) gives 100000.00 FormatAccAmount(100000,2,{f},{T},{L},{br}) gives (100000.00) FormatAccAmount(-100000,2,{f},{T},{A},{br}) gives (100000.00) FormatAccAmount(100000,2,{f},{T},{L},{br}) gives 100000.00 93)FormatValue(value, DecLen numeric, ApplyCommas,MillionRep

String)

IVIEW FUNCTIONS
122)GetCell(ColName, RColName, Rvalue: string) Returns the Value in ColName from the row in which RColName has Rvalue. Example : Consider an IView result as follows Col1 A B Col2 10 30 Col3 20 40

GetCell({Col2}, {Col1}, {A}) -> 10 123)GetRCell(ColName: string; RowNo: integer)

Returns the value from the cell identified by ColName & RowNo. Example : Consider an IView result as follows Col1 A B Col2 10 30 Col3 20 40

GetRCell({Col1}, 2) -> B 124)GetColNo(Colname: string) Returns the column number of the given column. 125)GetRowno(colno: integer; Rvalue: string) Returns the Rowno in which the value in the column identified by colno that matches Rvalue. Example : Consider an IView result as follows Col1 A B Col2 10 30 Col3 20 40

GetRowNo(1, {B}) -> 2 126)ComputePost(ColName: String; RowNo: integer;Exprn:String) Not Used. Maintained for backward compatability. SetTotalValue(TotalOrder: Numeric;ColumnName,Value :String) Set the given value as the total for the column given by ColumnName. Example : Consider an IView as follows Col1 Col2 Col3

A B C

1 3 5

20 40 60

Now assume that at the end of the report in Col2 the Column Avg has to be printed and in Col3 the column total has to be printed. This can be done by using the BefoePrintGT event. This event will be fired before printing the grand total. The column total will be available in expression sets in Tot<ColName> vars. To do this use the expression set given below. {BeforePrintGT} Av := TotCol2/3 SetTotalValue(0, {Col2}, Str(Av)) When the Grand total line is printed, the total for col2 will be changed to 3 (instead of 9). 127)SetCellFont(ColumnName, FontString) This will set the font for the given column. This can be used in expression sets to coditionally change the font of the cell. The FontString could any one of the following [b] - Bold [u] - Underline [i] - Italic Alternatively the FontString could be set as follows FontName=Arial,FontSize=10,FontStyle=[b],FontColor=clRed Example : Consider a report as follows Sales Man Target Actual Variance A B C 1000 1000 2000 900 400 1500 100 600 500

Assume that in the Variance column the amount should be displayed in Red Color in Arial Font if the variance is greater than 500. In the above table only the second row fourth column should be in this font. To acheive this requirement define an expression set as follows:

{BeforedisplayCol Variance} fstr := iif(variance>500, {fontname=Arial,fontsize=10,fontcolor=clRed}, {}) SetCellFont({Variance}, fstr) 128)SortIView(ColumnName, AscendingOrDescending) This function will sort an IView result in the ascending or descending order of the values in the given column name. This could be used in expression sets. 129)Filter(Filter Expression) This function will filter an IView that satisfies the given expression. The expression should return T or F. The expression can use any of the column values. 130)Group By(Column Name) This function groups the IView result based on the value in the given column. All rows that have the same value in the given column will be consolidated into one row 131)Hide Column(Column Name) Hides the given column in the IView. 132)Unhide Column(Column Name) UnHides the given column in the IView. 133)SetExtSequence(Transit, Fieldname, Prefix) This function can be used in an expression set to select sequences defined in other transactions. Note : The functions related to numbering sequence viz SetSequence & SetExtSequence cannot be used in OnFormLoad. Moreover, the case of the parameters should exactly match the ones defined in the tables. That is, if the field name is defined in lower case, the field name should be in lower case in these functions also. Example : The sequence defined in Purchase voucher can be used in Purchase Returns by calling this function in the expression set (for Purchase return voucher)

as SetExtSequence({vchpr}, {T1VchNo}, {Pur-}). 134)AddOption(Caption) Adds the given caption as a menu option. This will be available on Right Click. 135)EditColumn(Transid, ColumnName, Prompt) Allows user to edit a column in an IView. The Column to be edited is given in ColumnName. If the Transid is empty then the editing will not happen. 136)PostRecord(Transid:string; RecordId:Extended) This will post the current row in the IView into the TStruct given by Transid & record given by RecordId. The column names in the IView should be the same as the fields in the Tstruct.If recordid is zero, a new record will be posted. 137)SetColumnValue(ColumnName, Value) Sets the given value into the given column in the current row of an Iview. 138)PostRecord(TransId : String, RecordId:Numeric) Posts the current row in the IView into the given TStruct. The row will be stored into the Record given by the RecordId parameter. New records cannot be added using this option. 139)RefreshView(OnlyCompute) Refreshes the IView. If OnlyCompute is true, the IView only be re-computed and the SQLs will not befired. Example for AddOption, EditColumn, PostRecord, SetColumnValue, PostRecord AddOption({Edit Date}) {onclick Edit Date} EditColumn({try}, {DocDate}, {Enter date}) {AfterEdit DocDate} SetColumnValue({DocDate}, DocDate) PostRecord({try}, recordid) RefreshView() When the user clicks on Reconcile, a pop up window will appear and allow user to enter a date. On click of Ok button in the Pop Up window the AfterEdit event of dt will be executed. The SetColumnValue function will update the entered date into the IView. The PostRecord will post the updated value from the current row into the

the TStruct "try" into the record given by recordid. 140)GetStockAge(Itemid, Date, PeriodStr) This function can be used in an IView to get the age of the stock on hand. This is useful only if the valuation method is FIFO. Usage :Define an IView and get all the rows from the inventory master. Get the date on which the report is required as a parameter (named AsOnDate). Add a column named SAgewith expression as GetStockAge(LocInvDetailid, AsOndate, {0-30,31-60,61-90,91-9999}) The last parameter can be anything based on the user requirement. This function will make the resultant quantity in the given period in 4 different variables named Age_Qty1, Age_Qty2, Age_Qty3, Age_Qty4.Add four columns and set each of the above variables as column expression.DisplayTotal This is a system var. Set this variable F to suppress printing of a sub total. Example : If the total need not be printed if there is only line in the block then, this can be acheived by the following expression set. {BeforePrintSt 1} DisplayTotal := iif(Tot1RowCount > 1, {t}, {f}) Rowcount is a expression column in the IView with value = 1. 141)LastTotal This is a system var that will be set to true before printing the last total line. This can be used in expression sets. 142)Tot<ColumnName> This var will have column total. For every column in the IView, there will be a variable. Example : If there is a column named Amount, TotAmount will contain the column total. Tot<TotalNo><ColumnName> This var will contain the column with respect to any sub total. Each sub total is identified by the total number.

Example : Consider an IView as follows Col1 A A Tot-col2 A A Tot-col2 Tot-Col1 30 2 2 70 100 30 40 Col2 1 1 Col3 10 20

B 1 50 After printing each line the Tot variables will be updated. So, before printing the Tot-Col2 for the second time, the Tot2Col3 = 70 & Tot1Col3 = 100. 143)Group<ColumnName> This var will have the column value after grouping. This could be used to filter report based on grouped values. 144)OpenTransForm(Transcaption, Top, Left, Height, Width,

RecordId)
This function will open an input form related to a TStruct. The caption of the TStruct is given in Transcaption. The Top, Left, Height & Width parameters specify the window coordinates in which the input form should be opened. If RecordId is omitted an empty transaction form is displayed. In case recordid is provided, the transaction data is loaded in the transaction form. 145)RefreshField(FieldName) This function can be used in an expression set. This can be used to refresh the field values of the given field. In case, the field is calculated based on an expression. Any of the fields used in the expression are changed, the effect can be shown immediately on screen using this function in the onexit of the parent field. 146)SetTotalValue(TotalOrder: Numeric;ColumnName,Value:String) Set the given value as the total for the column given by ColumnName.

Example : Consider an IView as follows Col1 A B C Col2 1 3 5 Col3 20 40 60

Now assume that at the end of the report in Col2 the Column Avg has to be printed and in Col3 the column total has to be printed. This can be done by using the BeforePrintGT event. This event will be fired before printing the grand total. The column total will be available in expression sets in Tot<ColName> vars. To do this use the expression set given below. {BeforePrintGT} Av := TotCol2/3 SetTotalValue(0, {Col2}, Str(Av)) When the Grand total line is printed, the total forcol2 will be changed to 3 (instead of 9).
