Updating slots is also done through action-items. A slot is always referenced with a cell reference as prefix, using the following generic notation:
<cell_reference>.<slot_name>
<cell_reference> is an infopad element that uses an indexed infopad, starting from 1 up to the specified value for the dimension. In the following example, the cell is in row 3, column 2.
For example,
myMonthlyTable[3][2].max_time
Infopads always have rows and columns, and are therefore considered as two-dimensional, even if their column number or row number is 1. The references to infopad cells should therefore always mention both row and column indexes. A reference to a slot of an infopad cell should always be of the form:
infopadname[<rowindex>][<colindex>].slotname
Note: You can also update slots in an infopad through BPM Designer, using the Infopad Access dialog in the Action Editor. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Developing BPM Applications with Developer Studio.
Methods to modify infopad contents, whether through operators or action items, are described in the following sections.
