RE: Check data selection/sequence
Hi Daniel,
The system function is used within batch applications to check if a
particular data item is being used for data selection or sequencing in a
section of a given report/version. So, for example, if you've a report based
on the Address Book Table which processes records based on the business unit
i.e has data selection
Where ABMCU = 1000
you could use this function to check against data item BC Business Unit from
within the init section of your UBE.
I haven't had need to use this function but I imagine it has a good use so
you could check there's selection against specific data items and if not set
it from with your program.
You can find some more info in the online help (OW explorer, help, contents,
tools...., published API's)
Regards
Neil.
