First I have to get some more logical errors out of my code. The below is cleaned up.
C_BOOLEAN($0;$setDoesExist) C_TEXT($1;$setName) C_BOOLEAN($testInSet) C_LONGINT($numInSet) $setName:=$1 $numInSet:=Records in set($setName) If ($numInSet>0) $setDoesExist:=True Else // two possibilities // 1. set does not exist // 2. set exists but has no records // logic: The documentation says: // ADD TO SET ( {aTable ;} set ) … ADD TO SET adds the current record of aTable to set. The set must already exist; if it does not, an error occurs. // if the set does not exist, I will get an error. // if it does exist then I will NOT get an error but it is safe because I will not have changed the state of anything since adding zero records to an existing set does nothing. fErrorHappened:=False // this is a process variable that is created at startup ON ERR CALL("ErrorIgnore") // ErrorIgnore is a method that sets fErrorHappened to true ADD TO SET($setName) // if the set does not exist, this will throw an error. This particular "Set" command is sensitive as to whether the set exists ON ERR CALL("") If (fErrorHappened) $setDoesExist:=False Else $setDoesExist:=True End if End if $0:=$setDoesExist > On Jul 17, 2017, at 1:07 AM, Julio Carneiro via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > Just out of curiosity, what happens if there is no current record to add to > the set? > - do you get an error, which might only indicate no record exists to add to > an existing set? > - nothing happens, even if set does not exist? I am doing the testing in a simple interpreted environment. No server etc. If there is an empty current selection then the code (interpreted) correctly determines whether the set exists or does not exist. If there is a multi-record current selection but the current record does not exist than the code (interpreted) correctly determines whether the set exists or does not exist. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
