900-APPEND-CMT

900-APPEND-CMT-<FileName> routine appends the text in the variable to the comment attachment for the current record.

Using the API in a Program

To preserve spacing within the comment, you can set the CMT-<Prefix>-EXT-TEXT-SZ variable to the size of the text being appended to the comment.

A value of zero in the CMT-<Prefix>-EXT-TEXT-SZ variable tells the API to trim trailing spaces. Lawson recommends using a value of zero for this variable when the end of the comment is being appended.

Programming Example

     MOVE KB01F5-COM-COMMENTTEXT (I2) TO CMTCOM-EXT-TEXT
     PERFORM 900-APPEND-CMT-COMPANY.
