Default Custom Function write to Database field - 10-24-2005 , 05:13 PM






I am trying to create a custom function that after it does its
calculation and has the final value on a variable it can insert that
value in a field on the database.

Is it possible to be done using custom functions or I would have to
write an external plugin in C that inserts data in a database?

Thanks

Thiago

Custom function creates a value. Set the value using a script (Set Field
step):

Set Field [ Your Field ; YourFunction (data1 ; data1 ; etc) ].

Hey Matt, that is exactly what I needed....Was just making an easy
solution complicated.

Thanks
