Business Component Add method

Adds a new item set as a parameter to a variable based on a Business Component collection.

Syntax

&varBasedOnBCCollection.add(&varBasedOnBC)

Where:
&varBasedOnBCCollection
    Is a variable based on a Business Component that is a collection.

&varBasedOnBC   
    Is a variable based on the same data type of the collection but corresponds to only one instance.

Samples

Consider the following two-level Transaction set as a Business Component:

Attraction
{ 
   AttractionId*       (Autonumber property = Yes)
   AttractionName
   CategoryId
   CategoryName
   CountryId
   CountryName
   CityId
   CityName
   AttractionLastTicketId
   Ticket
   {
      AttractionTicketId*
      AttractionTicketDescription
      AttractionTicketPrice
   }
}

that contains the following defined rule:

Serial(AttractionTicketId,AttractionLastTicketId,1);

Suppose you need to add a new ticket to the attraction whose AttractionName = Eiffel Tower.

To do so, define in a certain object (for example in a Web Panel object, Panel object or a Procedure object):

• An &Attraction variable based on the Attraction data type.
• An &AttractionTicket variable based on the Attraction.Ticket data type.

After that, in the context you are positioned (for example, in the Events section of a Panel object or in a Procedure source) write the following code:

&Id = Find(AttractionId,AttractionName="Eiffel Tower",0) 
&Attraction.Load(&Id)
&AttractionTicket = new()
&AttractionTicket.AttractionTicketDescription = "Vip"
&AttractionTicket.AttractionTicketPrice = 200
&Attraction.Ticket.Add(&AttractionTicket)
&Attraction.Save() 
If &Attraction.Success()
   Commit     
else
   Rollback
endif
