ui.Dialog.getFieldTouched
Returns the modification flag for a field.
Syntax
getFieldTouched(
fields STRING )
RETURNS BOOLEAN- fields is the string with the list of field specification, see Identifying fields in dialog methods.
Usage
The getFieldTouched() method returns TRUE if
the modification flag of
the specified field(s) is set.
The fields parameter is a string containing the field qualifier,
with an optional prefix ("[table.]column"), a table prefix followed
by a dot and an asterisk ("table.*"), or a simple asterisk
("*").
This code checks if a specific field has been touched:
AFTER FIELD cust_name
IF DIALOG.getFieldTouched("customer.cust_address") THEN
...If the parameter is a screen record following by dot-asterisk, the method checks
the touched flags of all the fields that belong to the screen record:
ON ACTION quit
IF DIALOG.getFieldTouched("customer.*") THEN
...When passing a simple asterisk (*) to the method, the runtime system will check all fields used by the dialog:
ON ACTION quit
IF DIALOG.getFieldTouched("*") THEN
...
