Comparing and logging changes

#1 Post by omni »

Roger,

Earlier you suggested that we use the scatter before and after when a user is updating a master file to create a log file for changes.One part I cannot get to work, and its got me stumped.
//array1:=tractor->(scatter()) is loaded when record is opened. After the save, here is the code to update our log file

aArray2 := tractor->(Scatter())
nnn=1
do while nnn<=len(aArray1)

if aarray1[nnn]<>aarray2[nnn]
do uplog with "T",tractor->number,fieldname(nnn),aarray1[nnn],aarray2[nnn]
endif
nnn=nnn+1
enddo

The comparison works for each field, but the fieldname itself is a blank after the first time. If I put an alert in for each field as it goes thru the loop, it does display the field, but in the code itself as it is going thru its a blank after the first one, not matter what I do. I have even added a delay, thinking its going to fast(?), but that did not help either.

Any thoughts??

Oh good grief. Never mind. Forgot to put the file pointer back to the file being updated after adding to the log file.
