Calculated Fileds

Hi Everyone!

I need some assistance… I am new to scriptcase and have been playing around.

Can someone help me on creating calculated fields. I need to create fields like stock on hand, etc…

Example, you have a transaction table and need to do calculations to get the stock on hand of a specific stock item.

Thank You

Re: Calculated Fileds

Is this is a grid for a form?

Either case, create a ‘New Field’ in the list of fields. This is a calculated field (user defined)

You can then populate it as needed.

In a grid, onRecord event:
{calc_ext_price} = {qty} * {price};

In a form, use the same code in onLoad.

If you need to get the values from another table, then use sc_lookup in onInit to get the value and then populate the calc_field

pseudo:
$sql = ‘SELECT …’;
sc_lookup(tbl_lookup,$sql);
{calc_value} = tbl_lookup[0][0];

Use onInit to get values before form fields are populated. Use onLoad if you need to access existing form field values.

Scott.
