TmpNumberSeqCreate::initForDatatype Method

Initializes the specified TmpNumberSeqCreate record based on the specified NumberSequenceDatatype and NumberSeqScope records.

Syntax

client server public static boolean initForDatatype(
    TmpNumberSeqCreate tmpNumberSeqCreate, 
    NumberSequenceDatatype _numberSequenceDatatype, 
    NumberSeqScope _scope, 
    boolean _logErrors, 
   [Map _lastCodeForPrefixMap])

Parameters

• tmpNumberSeqCreate
  Type: TmpNumberSeqCreate Table
  The TmpNumberSeqCreate record to initialize.

• _numberSequenceDatatype
  Type: NumberSequenceDatatype Table
  The NumberSequenceDatatype record to use.

• _scope
  Type: NumberSeqScope Class
  The NumberSeqScope record to use.

• _logErrors
  Type: boolean
  A Boolean value that indicates whether to write error and warning conditions to the Infolog.

• _lastCodeForPrefixMap
  Type: Map Class
  A map that has a key of a string and a value of a string. All TmpNumberSeqCreate records generated by calling this method have a NumberSequenceCode object of the following format: [DatatypePrefix]_[IntegerPortion] where [DatatypePrefix] = a string of up to 4 characters based on the specified NumberSequenceDatatype value. [IntegerPortion] = an integral value. The key of this map is a value mapping to a [DatatypePrefix]. The value of this map is the last NumberSequenceCode object that has that prefix generated by a previous call to this method.

Return Value

Type: boolean
true if the TmpNumberSeqCreate record was successfully initialized; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The _lastCodeForPrefixMap parameter is used to avoid unnecessary calls to the NumberSequenceTable::findNextAutoId method.
