Adds a field, like the specified source field,
to the temp-table.
This method cannot be called after TEMP-TABLE-PREPARE( )
has been called unless CLEAR( ) is called first.
Return
type: LOGICAL
Applies to:
Temp-table object handle
Syntax
ADD-LIKE-FIELD ( field-name-exp ,
source-buffer-field-handle-exp | source-db-field-name-exp )
|
-
field-name-exp
- A character expression that evaluates to the name of the field
to be created in the temp-table.
-
source-buffer-field-handle-exp
- A character expression that evaluates to a buffer-field handle
from which to copy the field.
-
source-db-field-name-exp
- A character expression that evaluates to a database field name
from which to copy the field. The table name must be qualified with
the database name.
The following example
fragments add a field to a temp-table, the first from a named source
and the second from a buffer-field handle source:
tth:ADD-LIKE-FIELD("ordno","Order.OrderNum").
|
tth:ADD-LIKE-FIELD(bfh:NAME, bfh).
|
Note: There is a limit to the number
of fields that can be accommodated in a temp-table object. The limit
depends on how large the field information (initial value, validate
information, help messages, etc.) is, but you should plan on a limit
of approximately 1,000 fields.
