IDO

Use this field to specify the name of the IDO associated with the action you want to take. You can use the drop-down list to select the IDO from those available. This field is used with these event action types:

  • Call IDO Method
  • Dispatch IDO Method
  • Dispatch Load Collection
  • Dispatch Load IDO Row
  • Dispatch Update Collection
  • Load Collection
  • Load IDO Row
  • Update Collection
Note:  On the Event Action Update Collection and Event Action Dispatch Update Collection forms, this field is enabled only if you select the Update Using IDO option.

If the IDO you want does not appear on the list, you can use the system filtering capabilities for drop-down lists to locate the IDO. An alternate and less recommended method would be to increase the drop-down list cap for your system.

To reference the IDO using an expression, click the button to the left of this field.

The contents of this field must use this syntax:

scalarExpr

where scalarExpr is or resolves to the name of the IDO.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the system "wraps" this content within an IDO( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

IDO( scalarExpr )

Note:  If scalarExpr is a literal value, the system automatically encloses it in double quotation marks when returning it to the Event Actions form. If scalarExpr is an expression, the system does not enclose it in quotation marks.
