doCreateUpdate

A procedure that uses FIND to find the specified row to be updated and saves a copy into the RowObjUpd table, to support Undo. Run from submitRow when it receives a set of value changes from a UI object.

Location: dataext.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcRowIdent AS CHARACTER

Encoded key of the row to be updated.

INPUT pcValueList AS CHARACTER

Chr(1)-delimited list of FieldName/NewValue pairs.

OUTPUT plReopen AS LOGICAL

TRUE if the row is new, the result of a COPY or ADD.

OUTPUT pcMessage AS CHARACTER

Error message, if any.

Notes: Run from submitRow. Returns error message or "". If the row is not available in the RowObject temp-table (this would be because the SmartDataObject was not the DataSource) this routine FINDs the database record(s) using the RowIdent key before applying the changes, unless it’s a new row.
