Changing one document effects another documents ..

Hemantha, your code will change modules that finish earlier, too!

E.g., change BBC from 2/29 to 3/1.  That should only affect CBC, but your code will change ABC as well!

A simple change would be, instead of:
    if doc.UniversalID <> note.UniversalID  then

...use...

    if doc.UniversalID <> note.UniversalID AND doc.startDate(0) >= note.endDate(0) then

Thanks Hemantha for the script .. but the agent is not running.
There are some other fields in the form.


DocStatus ---------- Number, Editable, 0 (default value)
XDays ---------- Number, Editable, 0
ExDate ---------- Date\Time, Computed, @If(@IsNewDoc;""; @If(XDays="";""; @Adjust(EndDate;0;0;XDays;0;0;0) ) )


Extend Module - (Hotspot Button) ---------------

@If(!@IsDocBeingEdited;@Command([EditDocument]);@True);
FIELD XDays:=@Prompt([OkCancelEdit]; "Extend Training Period"; "How many days do you like to extend the module?"; "");
FIELD ExDate := @Adjust(EndDate;0;0;XDays;0;0;0);
FIELD EndDate := ExDate;
@PostedCommand([FileSave]);
FIELD DocStatus:=4;


Save & Close - (Hotspot Button) ---------------

@If(XDays=0;@Success;
   @If(ExDate!="";FIELD EndDate := ExDate;@Success) );
@Command([ToolsRunMacro]; "DocExtend");
FIELD XDays:=0;
@PostedCommand([FileSave]);
@PostedCommand([FileCloseWindow]);

When I click on 'Extend Module' button it asks for the days .. I enter 5
then I click on 'Save & Close' it extends the EndDate to 5 days but doesn't change the following documents.

any help ..

ninteen83 has contacted me for help as this issue is getting real urgent.
Hemanth / qwaletee, can you please review this and/or make corrections to following suggestion?


nineteen83,
Hemanth left you following note in his code:

diff = note.Diff            ' Maintain a simple computedfordisplay field which will calculate diff in end date and previous end date.. Say 15 in your above example

"note" Is the back-end document of the one you are extending on the front end. "Diff" Is the field on it that is used to store the difference between the old and the new end date.... your "XDays" field.

Since the agent can't find anything called "Diff", nothing really gets adjusted. You may notice the last modified date/time change though.

If you modify that line to:

diff = note.XDays

then you may be well on your way!
I can't run the full code to perform a full test. The prompt returns a string value to the field, while a AdjustDay requires an integer. "diff" Is not declared (i.e. variant). Perhaps it covers the possible error, but if you get a "type mismatch", you may need to force "diff" to an integer (CInt()).
In addition: diff is reading a field, so i'll get an array assigned! diff = note.XDays(0) may also be part of a solution.

Use the debugger, so you can check on the assigned values and any error line.

Good luck tomorrow!

1983,

Read the code step by step and first make sure that you understand the idea.. so it becomes simpler for you to add your modifications as my code will never be a copy paste soln.. it will be a guidance. As pointed out by CRAK.. you have to make some substitutions and I have to an extent commented on those in the script. The script essentially rely on diff in days which has to be altered ..

A small correction .. it should be

diff = note.XDays(0)

Thank you CRAK .. for the great help. :)

Once I was getting  "Type Mismatch" error .. but now the error doesn't appear.

Hemantha !! I went through your code and read it step by step .. I'm sure that now I understand the script :)

diff = note.Diff       has been replaced by      diff = note.XDays(0)

but still when I extend a module it only changes the EndDate of the current doc .. It doesn't effect on the following docs ... if 2 docs are following the current doc, it shows the message "Documents changed" twice .. but doesn't change any of the docs' startDate n enddate :(

Can you debug and see if the EndDate and StartDate are getting the values after the adjustday function ??

I'm poor in debugging the script .. let me check if I can find any bug

The agent works fine now. Thanks Hemantha, qwalette and CRAK ..

;-)
You're welcome.

Was this fast enough? Did you manage to "keep the big guy happy"?

Hi CRAK .. yes he became happy .. and thats all bcoz of you :)
