Posting variables

The following variables are available during the posting process and can be used to control the Posting process flow:

$File
The source record file variable.

$Filet
The target record file variable.

$post.msg
The message issued to the operator when the posting routine successfully completes. The default message is: The posting routine is complete.

$post.confirm
A logical field that controls whether on not the user is prompted to confirm the Posting action. The default is false.

$post.confirm.fmt
The name of the form used to display the target record for Posting confirmation.

$post.appl
The name of the RAD routine used for posting. If an application is not defined to this variable, and the $post.confirm option is true, the confirmation is a simple add or update of the target record. No other processing is performed against the record.

$post.names
An array that defines the names of the parameter panel input fields to which data will be passed. This field is needed only when an application is defined to the $post.appl parameter.

$post.values
An array that defines the values passed to the called application. There is a one-to-one relationship between this array and the $post.names array.
