CopyFields
Mon 01 January 2018Syntax
CopyFields(from, to)
where from and to are constructions that reference rows of data on specific source and target records in the component buffer; each have the following syntax:
level, scrollpath, target_row
and where scrollpath is:
[RECORD.level1_recname, level1_row, [RECORD.level2_recname, level2_row, ]] RECORD.target_recname
To prevent ambiguous references, you can also use SCROLL. scrollname , where scrollname is the same as the scroll levelâs primary record name.
Description
Use the CopyFields function to copy like-named fields from a row on the specific source record to a row on the specific target record.
