Edit grid NAB - Check + update

[AndyAMcam]

Case : I have an edit grid with certain editable fields and some read only fields.

I want to check the input of the editable fields and if correct update them.

I thought, I will do it via the settings/validation and create a program where I do the checks (inMode = ‘EDIT’) and update (inMode = ‘POSTEDIT’); like in EXNABVAL.

And finally my question : to check the value of a certain field, I need to know for which field the program is called (name of the field). I guess if I know this, I can retrieve the value which is entered in Valence via the procedure “GetValue”.

Maybe this is not the way to do it? If not, how can we do this?

Hi,

Yes, procedure ProcessEdit is where you would want to perform edit checks etc. If you want to stop the update simply use SendError.

To get the value of a field you do use GetValue passing the name of the field and file
