DD -Assign Properties to a Message Parameter.

[Guest]

OK - I am a self help phreak, but I cannot find documentation on this... so
I ask for help where you can!

In our legacy system (B731?), we have a custom message with ten parameters
(&1, &2...$10).

When doing development in the legacy system, each of the parameters is a
specified data type (shortitemno, integer... somethingdifferent).

When I attempt to create the same message in our XE environment, I don't
know how to assign the data type to the parameters(I don't know how to
assign them in the Legacy, either). I know it must not be too difficult to
assign the type to the message parameters, but I don't know how...

Point me to some documentation... or... just point me...

No, I don't remember learning this in class? I remember building messages
and assigning text and values, but not assigning properties to the
parameters...

Points?

Usually, I don't check the OWDEV forum.

I need some more information (big picture). Where are you creating the custom message? What will you be doing with it? (ie workflow or mods etc.)

To the best of my knowledge the assignment of attributes - char, string,
math numeric etc. is not a requirement when using a message template.
Basically, the template with it's &1, &2 ... variables only conceptually
represents the data which will be loaded into them. Take for example
Requested Date &1 - the template doesn't know that you've preceded this
variable with the text 'Requested Date' - it simply know that a variable
will be loaded at run-time with some data element - it is at that run-time
load that the JDE system will figure out what the attributes of the &1
variable are.

I'm currently working with custom templates in workflow and haven't found
any problems with loading them.
