SDO functions

You can create a function for a client-side SDO event by using the following naming convention:

SDOName_event()

For event, you must use one of the following:

Event	Function description
add	Executes after a record has been added.
copy	Executes after a record has been copied.
delete	Executes prior to a delete. Expects a return value.
dynLookup	Executes before return from a dynamic lookup.
update	Executes before validation.
validate	Executes before validation. Expects a return value.
view	Executes after data has been refreshed.

Example

The following example creates some customizations based on the value of city in the customer table:

// Sample Javascript include for Client-side SDO logic. // Colors the city field yellow for Nashua, but otherwise red function customerfullo_view(){   window.document.all('customerfullo.city').style.backgroundColor=    (apph.action('customerfullo.city.get')=='Nashua'?'yellow':'red'); } // Sets some default values on add operation function customerfullo_add(){   apph.action('customerfullo.name.set|default name');   apph.action('customerfullo.address.set|default address');   apph.action('customerfullo.city.set|Nashua'); } // same for copy as for add function customerfullo_copy(){   customerfullo_add(); } // Special treatment of Nashua as value for city field both for validate and update var city_a; var city_b; // being passed from validate to update so it must have outside scope function customerfullo_validate(){   city_a=apph.action('customerfullo.city.old');   city_b=document.all('customerfullo.city').value;   if(city_a=='Nashua'&&city_b!='Nashua'){      alert('I will not let you do that because Nashua is my favorite city!');      return false; }   return true; // Tells whether the operation was legal... } function customerfullo_update(){   if(city_b!='Nashua')      apph.action('customerfullo.city.set|'+city_b+'=bad city'); } // Refuse to delete records where city is set to Nashua function customerfullo_delete(){   if(apph.action('customerfullo.city.get')=='Nashua'){     alert('I will not allow people from Nashua to go away');     return false; // Tells whether the operation was legal...   }   return true; }
