Usage

The SetValue function can set the Value property using separate date and time variables or a single DateTime variable.

Examples

This example sets the Value property of a DatePicker control using separate date and time values:

date d
time t
d=date("2007/12/27")
t=time("12:00:00")

Syntax 2: for JSONPackage object

Description

Sets the value for a key. If the key does not exist, then create the key and set its value. If the key already exists, then overwrite the value of this key. If more than one key with the same name already exists, then overwrite the value of the first key. Notice that the IgnoreCase property (true by default) determines whether the key name will be matched in a case-sensitive manner.

Applies to

JSONPackage

Syntax

objectname.SetValue ( Key, Value {, Flag} )
objectname.SetValue ( Key, DWControl {, ChangedOnly} )

Argument

Description

objectname

The name of the JSONPackage object.

Key

A string specifying the key.

Value

A string specifying the value.

Flag (optional)

A boolean specifying the flag: true indicates the value is in JSON format, false indicates the value is a string. The default value is true.

DWControl

The name of the DataWindow, DataStore or DataWindowChild control.

ChangedOnly (optional)

A boolean specifying the changing flag: true indicates including changed data only (in DataWindow JSON format) for all DataWindow buffers, false indicates including data (in plain JSON format) of primary buffer. The default value is true.


Return value

Integer.

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, the method returns null.

Examples

This example packages the JSON data and a string and then sends the package to the server:

int li_rc
string ls_json, ls_EmployeeJson, ls_ReturnJson
HttpClient lnv_HttpClient
JsonPackage lnv_package

lnv_HttpClient = create HttpClient
lnv_package = create JsonPackage

ls_EmployeeJson = dw_employee.ExportJson(false)

// Package the data
lnv_package.SetValue("d_employee ", ls_EmployeeJson)
lnv_package.SetValue("MyString", "Test String", false)
ls_json = lnv_package.GetJsonString()

// Construct a POST request 
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8")
// Send the package to the server
li_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("POST", "https://demo.appeon.com/PB/webapi_client/postJsonpackage/employee", ls_json)

// Get the data
if li_rc = 1 and lnv_HttpClient.GetResponseStatusCode() = 200 then
  lnv_HttpClient.GetResponseBody(ls_ReturnJson, EncodingUTF8!)
else
  MessageBox("Error", "Failed to call service.")
end if

This example packages the data of the DataWindow, DataStore and DataWindowChild controls and then sends the package to the server:

int li_rc
string ls_json, ls_ReturnJson
datastore lds_employee
datawindowchild ldwc_active
HttpClient lnv_HttpClient
JsonPackage lnv_package

lnv_HttpClient = create HttpClient
lnv_package = create JsonPackage

...//Initialize data for lds_employee, ldwc_active

// Package the data
lnv_package.SetValue("d_department", dw_department, false)
lnv_package.SetValue("d_employee", lds_employee)  //includes the changed data
lnv_package.SetValue("dddw_active", ldwc_active, false)
ls_json = lnv_package.GetJsonString()

// Construct a POST request 
lnv_HttpClient.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8")
// Send the package to the server
li_rc = lnv_HttpClient.SendRequest("POST", "https://demo.appeon.com/PB/webapi_client/postJsonpackage/employee", ls_json)

// Get the data
if li_rc = 1 and lnv_HttpClient.GetResponseStatusCode() = 200 then
  lnv_HttpClient.GetResponseBody(ls_ReturnJson, EncodingUTF8!)
else
  MessageBox("Error", "Failed to call service.")
end if
