T24 - Calling Local Ref ...

[prabal_482]

hi all,

I am writing a validation rtn, which checks for the input in a field
say customer id, then according to the input value, it should select
an item from drop down list. The field that needs to be selected is a
local ref. field.

can anyone tell me how to do this ?

using R.NEW(MD.DEA.LOCAL.REF,20) does not seem to work.

Hi,

Your Syntax for local ref should be like this
R.NEW(MD.DEA.LOCAL.REF)<1,20> = 'your value'

I hope it will work

you should always use programs like GET.LOCAL.REF which will give you
the position of the Local Ref, which you can substitute for the local
ref pos

Eg:

CALL GET.LOC.REF('LD.LOANS.AND.DEPOSITS','CON.ID',Y.ID.POS)

Y.ID = R.NEW(LD.LOCAL.REF)<1,Y.ID.POS>

Please note not to Hard code the Positon of the local ref or matter of
fact for any fields.

thanks
Sharath
