RLACS keyword

Applies to

The RLACS keyword is valid wherever the LINKBY keyword is valid.

Description

This keyword indicates that (due to trigger operations during the child collection save) a save of the child data will require a reload of the parent data.

When Windows client encounters this keyword on subcollections, it does the following during Save actions:

  • Disables the usual refresh-after-update processing on the parent saves
  • Performs a new interaction on the IDO in which all (non-deleted) objects are refreshed after the subcollections are saved.

When Windows client encounters this keyword on linked forms, it does the following during a linked child form Save action:

  • First checks to see if the parent object is modified or new. If so, Windows client prompts the user that the parent must be saved first because it is new, or will be refreshed after the child save. Continue yes/no. (Note that there will be a similar prompt for New parent objects regardless of the presence of RLACS.)
  • After the child form save completes, it does a RefreshCurrent on the parent instance.
