Unit core.complex

Script unit that provides methods to create and update complex values.

foreignKeyOf

foreignKeyOf<foreignKeyType>(): foreignKeyType

Create an instance of a foreign key type.

Note: A foreign key field contains a primary key on the referenced table.

This method is equivalent to the method complex.primaryKeyOf. The method complex.primaryKeyOf should be preferred

Example:

uses core.complex as complex;

export function getValue(): typeof _ebx.record.Supervisor
begin
  var foreignKey := complex.foreignKeyOf<typeof _ebx.record.Supervisor>();
  foreignKey.Id := 435;
  return foreignKey;
end

Function Types :

primaryKeyType: the primary key type. Can be the type of a foreign key or a an expression foreignKeyOf. Is mandatory.

Return :

the new foreign key object. Is always mutable.

Can be used in: Script tasks, Table triggers, Function fields

of

of<complexType>(): complexType

Create an instance of a complex type.

Example:

uses core.complex as complex;

export function getValue(): typeof _ebx.record.OfficeAddress
begin
  var value := complex.of<typeof _ebx.record.OfficeAddress>();
  value.Street := '4323 Broadway';
  value.City := 'New York';
  value.State := 'NY';
  value.Zip := '10019';
  value.Country := 'USA';
  return value;
end

Function Types :

complexType: the object type. Is mandatory. Should be an expression typeof identifier.

Return :

the new object. Is always the mutable version of the specified type.

Can be used in: Script tasks, Table triggers, Function fields

primaryKeyOf

primaryKeyOf<primaryKeyType>(): primaryKeyType

Create an instance of a primary key type.

Note: A foreign key field contains a primary key on the referenced table.

Example:

uses core.complex as complex;

export function getValue(): typeof _ebx.record.Supervisor
begin
  var foreignKey := complex.primaryKeyOf<typeof _ebx.record.Supervisor>();
  foreignKey.Id := 435;
  return foreignKey;
end

Function Types :

primaryKeyType: the primary key type. Can be the type of a foreign key or an expression primaryKeyOf. Is mandatory.

Return :

the new primary key object. Is always mutable.

Can be used in: Script tasks, Table triggers, Function fields
