Type: Event

Parameters: None

Syntax

Procedure OnSaveRecord

Description

OnSaveRecord is called any time a DD record is saved. However, it is only called if there is an actual change to be saved. It is called within Save_Main_File and is called before the save occurs. When called, the global table buffer contains all of the information to be saved. Because this event is only called when a record changes, it can be useful if you wish to do perform some kind of change status logging. This is different than Save_Main_File, which is called whether there is a change or not.

By default OnSaveRecord does nothing.

Procedure OnSaveRecord
    Date dNow
    String sUser

    SysDate dNow
    Get psCurrentUser to sUser  // this would be a custom method you provide
    Move dNow to MyFile.LastChange
    Move sUser to MyFile.LastChangedBy
End_Procedure

This message is always called in a locked state. Do not perform user input in this event.
