Field Definitions

31 Views

Good Day

Experts:

We have come up with another, well, "sticking" point here with regards to our User-Defined tables that are supplying data to forms. Each field on the form has a datasource attached to it using the following code:

<b> MatReqItem = MatReqForm.Items.Add("txtDocDate", it_EDIT)

MatReqItem.Height = 14

MatReqItem.Left = 106

MatReqItem.Top = 25

MatReqItem.Width = 50

MatReqTextBox = MatReqItem.Specific

MatReqTextBox.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "U_ReqDate")</b>

Then, in a seperate subroutine, the field type and length is defined for that datasource using:

<b>MatReqForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("U_ReqDate", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_DATE, 8)</b>

Situations have come about where that type and definition does not match what is in the User-Defined field deifnition. Is there a way to "say" use what is in the User-Defined field definition so it does not have to be "told" in the code?

Thanks,

Ed
