Building multiple item moves within a doc

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have 2 sets of fields in a document. ponum1 thru 10 and polink1 thru 10. It is my understanding when you want to move the values in 1 item to another , it goes like this doc.polink1 = doc.ponum1(0).

I am trying to build this into a …

For x 1 to 10

doc.polink & Trim(Str$(x)) = doc.ponum & Trim(Str$(x)) & “(0)”

Next

It seems it is the (0) it is balking at. It will not save the script.

I tried string and variants for the tempxxx items in the following attemps…

tempponum = prdoc.ponum & Trim$(Str$(index)) & (0)

temppo_link = “prdoc.po_link” &Trim$(Str$(index))

Set Item = prdoc.ReplaceItemValue(temppo_link, tempponum)

This seems simple enough but it also seems not. Help please…

The problem is that if you’re using the document.fieldname(index) shorthand syntax, you can’t dynamically build the fieldname as if it were a string. You’re almost there with your use of ReplaceItemValue, but for that you can’t use the (index) notation. You might try something like this:

For x = 1 to 10

’ first, just generate some field names

ponum = “ponum” + cstr(x)

polink = “polink” + cstr(x)

’ get the value(s) of the ponum field

num_vals = doc.GetItemValue(ponum)

’ and slap those into the link field

set itm = doc.replaceitemvalue(polink, num_vals)

’ save it; otherwise, we’ll reset what itm is on the next loop through and lose the previous item value changes

call doc.save(false, false)

worked well, thank you very much

What you need to do is the following:

for x = 1 to 10

call doc.replaceItemValue(“polink” & str(x), doc.getItemValue(“ponum” & str(x)))

next

I added these 2 display lines and they show “” empty.For x = 1 To 10

tempponum = prdoc.GetItemValue(“ponum” & Str(x))

temppo_link = prdoc.GetItemValue(“po_link” & Str(x))

Call prdoc.ReplaceItemValue(“po_link” & Str(x), prdoc.GetItemValue(“ponum” & Str(x)))

Yes, I see. Was too quick with use of the str() function. Always safer to use cStr().

So:

For x = 1 To 10

Call doc.replaceItemValue(“polink” & Cstr(x), doc.getItemValue(“ponum” & Cstr(x)))

Next

…will work…

Kind regards
