Conditionally Add #LOCALDATA

questions

Hello,

Can you add #LOCALDATA with #IF in Templates?

I tried but keep on getting line errors;

#! ----------------------------------------------------------
#LOCALDATA
	#IF(%MNDocuVaultAddDebugCodeOptionLocals=1)
Loc:DocuVaultActiveHereYN           BYTE            !Loc:DocuVaultActiveHereYN

Loc:ProgramArea                     STRING(30)      !Loc:ProgramArea
Loc:EngagementFilterYN              BYTE            !Loc:EngagementFilterYN
Loc:ReturnedS                       STRING(20)      !Loc:ReturnedS
Loc:ReturnedL                       LONG            !Loc:ReturnedL
Loc:ReturnedString                  STRING(2054)    !Loc:ReturnedString
	#ENDIF
	#IF(%MNDocuVaultAddDebugCodeOptionLocals=2)

#ENDLOCALDATA

Nope! Instead, do it in an #AT(%DataSectionBeforeWindow).

If you are creating a #CONTROL template and you want to reference those in controls’ USE attribute, you can still do it. It will just seem like it’s disconnected, but it will compile just fine.

I’ll link to Mike’s related recent post to check if a Variable is already defined in Local Data so you don’t add it in a Data Embed and create a duplicate error.

Greetings -

Sometimes I use the construction:

  #IF(NOT VAREXISTS(%FamilyFound))
    #DECLARE(%FamilyFound)
  #ENDIF

That checks if the Template %Variable has been #DECLARE

The OP was talking about generated Clarion code variables in #LOCALDATA

Greetings - Correct!
Got my wires crossed, pressed return, and did not realize it was the wrong answer and should have been deleted.
My bad. My apologies for any inconvenience it might have caused.

Hi All,

How do you let it use the group only once and not multiple times when using the Extension template on more than one browse on the same screen?

Use %CustomFlags:

#IF(~INLIST(%Procedure &':MyFlag', %CustomFlags))
  #ADD(%CustomFlags, %Procedure &':MyFlag')
  #!... Your stuff
#ENDIF
