Pass a LIST data between Reusable Part using Application Control

Hi there,

As you can see in above picture, I create 2 RP. 1 is Filter RP & 2 is to display the filtered result. When the user click the button(‘JANA’), it will call a method in Application Controller RP (code below).

Code: Select all

Mthroutine Name(SelectState)

Define_Map For(*input) Class(#prim_alph) Name(#State)
Define_Map For(*input) Class(#prim_alph) Name(#Branch)
Define_Map For(*input) Class(#PRIM_NMBR) Name(#Month)
Define_Map For(*input) Class(#PRIM_NMBR) Name(#Year)

Define_Com Class(#dwhTempDashFuDisb.FindFILTER2) Name(#getList)

#getList.ExecuteAsync( #State #Branch #Month #Year )

Evtroutine Handling(#getList.Completed)

Selectlist Named(#PenKew)

Signal Event(SelectStateSuccess)

Endselect

Endroutine

Endroutine

It will return a few entries depending to the user selection during the filter. This is the result if user select NEGERI as ‘JOHOR’

It shows that my server routine is working well because we can see the result in the developer tool.

The problem is occur when I try to display the result in the Reusable Part no 2(in first picture). It should replace the LABEL accordingly and loop the RP depend on the result entries. I have made a signal event when the server routines completed and call the event in the RP no 2 to replace the LABEL, but it doesn’t work.

This is the code in the RP no 2. I only write a line of code just to test the outcome.

Code: Select all

evtroutine handling(#Application.SelectStateSuccess)

#Label1.Caption := #STATE_NAME + " - " #BRANCH_NAME

Endroutine

And this is the result that is used to have when we develop in VLF-One (the client expected the same in VL-Web). It is a bit easier to do something like this in VLF-One because we don’t need to worry much about the Application Control or to signalling the event.

I’m a bit confuse on how to pass the LIST data around from one RP to another RP. Any tips will helps a lot.

Thanks,

Hi,

You may want to look into creating an object to hold your list data, then you can pass that object around.

To create an object, create a new reusable part (type of object) and make use of the *LISTFIELDS option.

Code: Select all

* my object definition
begin_com role(*EXTENDS #PRIM_OBJT *LISTFIELDS #ListFields) 

group_by name(#ListFields) fields(#MyId #MyField)

define_pty name(Id) get(*AUTO #MyId) set(*AUTO #MyId)
define_pty name(MyField) get(*AUTO #MyField) set(*AUTO #MyField)
end_com

Note the *LISTFIELDS in the role and the #ListFields group_by.

Then you can declare an array of these objects

Code: Select all

define_com class(#PRIM_ACOL<#MyObject>) name(#DataList)

and pass that list to the ServerModule for population.

Code: Select all

#find.ExecuteAsync( #DataList )

The ServerModule just takes a list_map like you would normally have.

Now you can pass that list around to other components, just be sure to "pass by reference"

Code: Select all

mthroutine name(Load)
define_map for(*INPUT) class(#PRIM_ACOL<#MyObject>) name(#data) pass(*BY_REFERENCE)

for each(#item) in(#data)
* do something with each item
endfor
endroutine

For actual examples look at the xDemoWebPassingWorkingLists examples. (XDEMO_36 and XDEMO_37).

Hope this helps,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the help last week.

I have manage to past a LIST data to the second RP, but the thing is, its only display the last entry of my list to the RP. How can I loop the RP based on the entry on my list and display the data accordingly.

This is the result that i got:

filter.PNG (87.14 KiB) Viewed 7582 times

This is the entry that should be in the RP :

result_filter.PNG (111.75 KiB) Viewed 7582 times

this is what i expected:

result_filter1.PNG (104.07 KiB) Viewed 7582 times

You can see that the RP is looping based on the LIST entry to show the data.

Hmm, I've never had a collection start at the end of the list.
According to the docs

The FOR command can also be used to iterate over the collection contents. The items will be returned in the order they are stored in the collection.
For each(#Customer) in (#Customers)
...
Endfor

You can use First and Last to get either the first or last entry in the list.

Once the list gets populated from the server module, you may want to spin through it and output a trace message just to confirm if it is in the same order as the output'ed data from the server module.
