About return values for DataWindow events
The way to specify a return code in a DataWindow event is
different in each of the DataWindow environments.
PowerBuilder
Use a RETURN statement as the last statement
in the event script. The datatype of the value is long.
For example, in the ItemChanged event, set the return code
to 2 to reject an empty string as a data value:
|
1 |
IF data = "" THEN |
|
1 |
RETURN 2 |
Web DataWindow
In client events, use a return statement as the last statement
in the event script. The datatype of the value is number.
For example, in the ItemChanged event, set the return code
to 2 to reject an empty string as a data value:
|
1 |
if (newValue = "") { |
|
1 |
return 2; |
|
1 |
} |
Web ActiveX
Use the SetActionCode method of the Web
ActiveX control. The datatype of the value is number.
For example, in the DBError event, suppress the standard error
message by setting the return code to 1:
|
1 |
dw_1.SetActionCode(1); |
Java
Use the setReturnCode method of the event
object passed to the event. The datatype of the value is int. The setReturnCode method
is inherited from the parent EventData class.
For example, in the retrieveStart event, prevent the DataWindow
from being reset, so that the newly retrieved rows as appended to
the rows already retrieved:
|
1 |
event.setReturnCode(2); |
