setupTTFromString function

Function used to create a dynamics temp-table to invoke a call from a string containing the parameter definitions in the form mode data type parameter.

Parameters:

pcTableName INPUT CHARACTER

Name to assign the temp-table that you want to create.

pcRetValDT INPUTCHARACTER

Data type of the return value from the call. If left blank, the default is CHARACTER. This parameter is optional. If nothing is specified, the "" is passed.

pcParamString INPUT CHARACTER

A string in the form mode data type parameter, mode data type parameter. The string contains the parameters you want to pass to the procedure or function that is being invoked. The string is a comma-separated list of parameters. Each parameter is in the form "mode data type parameter" where:

mode is one of INPUT, OUTPUT, INPUT-OUTPUT, or OUTPUT-APPEND.
data type is one of CHARACTER, DATE, LOGICAL, INTEGER, DECIMAL, RAW, HANDLE, TABLE-HANDLE, or ROWID.
parameter is the name of either a property that was previously set using setPropertyList or setSessionParam, or a single quoted constant that does not contain spaces or commas. If you specify a property, the procedure attempts to evaluate the property value by calling getPropertyList. If no property is available, or Dynamics is not running, a call is made to getSessionParam for the property value. If neither call succeeds, the unknown value is passed.
Returns: A handle to the created temp-table.
Notes:

When the temp-table is constructed, the function attempts to find a property using getPropertyList with the same name as the parameter. If none is found, a similar attempt is made to call getSessionParam. If no properties or parameters are found in context, the initial value is set to the unknown value.
The temp-table is created with initial values that are derived from the property values. No records are added to the temp-table. A create of a record in the table results in a record with the default values specified.
