LegacyLookupMapLookupKey

Declaration

bool LegacyLookupMapLookupKey(string mapname, string key1, string key2, bool insert)

Description

This function generally allows to remember whether a combination of two keys has already been used. It can be used to avoid that, for example, the same combination of a company with an intercompany will be processed more than once. Example: Two companies A and B, which both are also intercompanies, should be processed. A is processed with intercompany A and B, and company B is processed also with intercompany A and B. This results in the combinations A->B and B->A. If now all the processing is already done for A->B, it is not wanted to process B->A also. Therefore, create a new map and when processing A->B insert into the map keys A and B. The map will provide now that (A,B) but also (B,A) has been processed. Before handling any combination, the map must be read for the current combination and skipped, if it is already included.

Supported Runtime Versions

1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0

Parameters	Description
mapname	The name of the map to use.
key1	The first key.
key2	The second key.
insert	If true, keys are added to the map. Otherwise, keys are only queried.

Return Value

True, if the key is in the list, false otherwise.
