Hi

I'm trying to reduce some script step and pop-up windows and put thing
into a dialog plug-in.

In a database with table
table1::customer_No=table2::customer_No some time that relation return
multiple data. without using portal, when working in a layout that
display table1 data is it possible to get all related value from a
2nd field table2::contract_No

When using scipt step setVariable [$no; table2::contract_No]
it's only returning the 1st record from the relation.

Is it possible to get all of them... like :

contrat1|contrat2|contrat3 and so on.... with pipe in beetween,
semicolumn or anything else !

Something that will not involve changing layout, new window, or chage
layout.... something that will be instantaneous ??

Thank you

If you just want to put the multiple related records into a single
variable, you can use the list() function, as in:

setVariable [$no; list(table2::contract_No)]

This assumes you are using FM 9 or 10. For versions 7 or 8, you would
have to define a custom function to do the same thing.

Haaa thank you, that was the fonction I was looking for.... I'm new to
version 9/10 so I didn't know that one !!

and to reply to Howard, I already have script step using pop-up window
with portal and user select from the list, but to manage user going
into another window and click something else and all that scripting
for my non-expert skills for my in house solution is getting out of
control, I will use the free plugin Dialog that can make a dialog with
a list, and a selection return, way more easy, also can make that with
1 script line instead of a never ending list of open new windows go to
layout etc etc.
