Problem with #LOOPVIEW
|
As a test I ran the following script:
| Code: |
#LOOPVIEW Portals|ax {#ECHO eploc = &PortalEntryPoint}
|
The result was:
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
Portals |ax
It so happens that there are 8 records in that view. However, changing the view to All made no difference. #LOOPVIEW evidently understands which view I want because if I close the database, the script returns blanks. The output then is not echoing the requested view, but doing something else. Notice the blank between the viewname and the "|" in the output. I modified the script to use %viewrec and it displayed the data as requested.
It is my experince that specifying viewname|dbid does not always work as stated in the help files, but this is going somewhat beyond the pale.
EDIT:
I re-ran the test with no commands, i.e:
| Code: |
#LOOPVIEW Portals|ax {}
|
With no variation in the result. |
