assignDBRow

Procedure that modifies values copied from the RowObject row to the database records (which for an Update have already been retrieved and locked).

Location: query.p

Parameters:

INPUT phRowObjUpd AS HANDLE

Handle of the buffer from which to copy.

Notes:

The SmartDatatObject determines which fields to save to the database tables based on a comparison of the before-image and the changed record.
The RowObjUpd.ChangedFields that was used for this purpose is now obsolete.
The procedure copies over only those fields whose values were actually modified. If this is a copied record, all the fields that were enabled for update are saved.
If the RowMod field is A for Add or C for Copy, the procedure creates the database records first and then does the assign.
