Functions

For details on the new functions that are described in this section, see the Infor ES Programmers Guide (Infor Support Portal KB 22924522).

Development - New set.insert.in.detail.session(…) function

In some sessions, such as an editable grid, the standard insert does not allow the user to insert all the fields. In these sessions, the new set.insert.in.detail.session(…) function can be used. This function gives the user an alternative session to insert the record. The end user sees the now standardized Insert in Detail form command.

Development - Initialize variables, including array fields

The new tt.init.vars() function is available to initialize variables in program functions, including variables of type array.

Extensibility - Show image from one table/session into another session

The new copy.image.to.file(…) function is available to copy an image to a file. The image can then be displayed on a session.

Performance - Application locks

New functions are available for better performance when using, especially exclusive, application locks:

  • appl.get.owner() - retrieves the Owner (PID) of a specified application lock.
  • appl.get.owner.excl() - retrieves the Owner (PID) of a specified exclusive application lock.
  • appl.modify.excl() - changes the Owner (PID) of a specified exclusive application lock.
