GetRecord

Mon 01 January 2018

Syntax 

GetRecord([RECORD.recname])

Description

Use the GetRecord function to create a reference to a record object for the current context, that is, from the row containing the currently executing program.

The following code: 

&REC = GetRecord();

is equivalent to: 

&REC = GetRow().GetRecord(Record.recname);

or 

&REC = GetRow().recname;

Note: This function is invalid for PeopleCode programs located in events that aren't associated with a specific row and record at the point of execution. That is, you cannot use this function in PeopleCode programs on events associated with high-level objects like pages (the Activate event) or components (component events).

Parameters

With no parameters, this function returns a record object for the current context (the record containing the program that is running).

If a parameter is given, RECORD. recname must specify a record in the current row.

Returns

GetRecord returns a record object.
