Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Managers API Reference

getFieldSecurity

This procedure checks a list of field names and returns how the fields are secured.

Location: af\app\afsecmngrp.i

Parameters:

INPUT pcFieldList AS CHARACTER

The fields to check as a CHR(1)-delimited list.

OUTPUT pcSecurityList AS CHARACTER

The list of security as a comma-delimited list in the same order that the fields were passed in.

Notes: This API is meant to check field security for audit trails specifically, because the framework cannot determine from which object or container the field was updated. The API checks if the field has been secured anywhere and applies the most restrictive security if set up.

Examples: See the buildTempTable procedure in af\obj2\gstadviewv.w.
