#for-loop with different constants

[joerg]

Hi all,

I don't know if anybody knows it already, but it is possible to write a loop with different constants.
My issue was, that there are two fields CHECK_PLANING and CHECK_BOOKING. I have to call a component with different items (parameter), when calling for CHECK_PLANING I have to call MUST_I ("KAEMM") and when checking for CHECK_BOOKING I have to call MUST_I("GBH"):

Code: Select all

#for item = (PLANING, BOOKING)
if (CHECK_<art>.ENTITY = "Y")
   activate "CHECK".MUST_I("<<item>>")
endif
#endfor

In the Defines-Trigger I have defined as follows:

Code: Select all

#define PLANING = KAEMM
#define BOOKING = GBH

In the Codelisting Uniface compiled:

Code: Select all

if (CHECK_PLANING.ENTITY = "Y")
   activate "CHECK".MUST_I("KAEMM")
endif
if (CHECK_BOOKING.ENTITY = "Y")
   activate "CHECK".MUST_I("GBH")
endif

In the original code there is more to do, but I cut it. It works with Uniface 8 and I hope it will work with Uniface 9 either.

Have a nice day
Jörg

Hi Jörg,

an additional point, you can define your list of items as well:

Code: Select all

#define items = PLANING, BOOKING
#for item = (<items>)

If you do this in a consequent way, your sourcecode exists only of:
#define for the actual implementation details and
#include for the standardised text

see my presentation on german usergroup in 2006

Success, Uli
