AOTTableFieldList.addDate Method
Adds a new field of the date type to the list of fields for the current table.
Syntax
public void addDate(str name)
Run On
Called
Parameters
- name
Type: str
The name of the field to add.
Remarks
If the supplied name coincides with an existing field in the field list, an integer is appended to the name of the new field to make the field name unique.
The developer must make sure that the name is not a reserved word; the method will not throw an error if a reserved word is specified. You can use the AOTfindChild method to determine whether a field name is already being used.
Examples
The following code example adds the NewDate field, which is of the date type, to the list of fields for the TutorialJournalName table.
AOTTableFieldList tfl = infolog.findNode(
'\\Data Dictionary\\Tables\\TutorialJournalName\\Fields');
if (!tfl.AOTFindChild('NewDate'))
{
tfl.addDate('NewDate');
}
