Decisions are defined in the
Definer, and "assigned" to (behavior) properties in the Windows
Designer.
To define a decision:
| 1.
|
From the menu bar in the Definer, choose Define,
Decisions. |
The Decisions window
appears.
| 2.
|
Supply the name of the decision. |
| 3.
|
Do not use the Client Path attribute. This attribute is
supported for backward compatibility only. |
| 4.
|
Specify the Decision SQL statement. |
At this point you can specify
a fully SELECT statement that retrieves data from the database, or
a SQL (WHERE) condition that validates on-screen data. For more
help, refer to the "Decisions" help
topic.
| 5.
|
Specify the action to take if the condition is met (`Yes
Action). Do this by opening the Object Activator as a stand-alone
editor. |
In Yes Actions, you can refer
to data retrieved by the Decision SQL by using :1, :2 etc.
placeholders.
| 6.
|
Likewise, specify the action to take if the condition is NOT
met (No Action). |
In No Actions, you cannot
refer to data retrieved by the Decision SQL.
| 7.
|
From the menu bar, choose Record, Store Row. |
| 8.
|
To have the SQL of your decision checked for syntactical
correctness, click the Check button. |
| 9.
|
Click OK to confirm any messages, correct any errors if
necessary, and then save your changes. |
