Language Enhancements in Procedures (TDL)

Action – Browse URL

The action Browse URL is enhanced to accept a logical value as an optional fourth parameter to open the URL in Admin mode.

Syntax

Action: Browse URL: <URL Formula>: [<Command Line Parameters>:<Logical Expression1>: <Logical Expression2>]

Where,

< URL Formula > is an expression which evaluates to a link to a website or a folder path.

< Command Line Parameters > is the list of command line parameters separated by space. It is an optional parameter.

< Logical Expression1 > can be any expression which evaluates to a logical value. When this parameter is set to yes, it executes the given action in hidden mode. It is an optional parameter.

< Logical Expression2 > can be any expression which evaluates to a logical value. When this parameter is set to yes, it executes the action in admin mode. It is an optional parameter.

Function – SysInfo

The function SysInfo is enhanced to get the file name of the current application with the folder path.

Example

$$SysInfo:ModuleName

If the application path is C:\Tally.ERP 9 , it returns C:\Tally.ERP 9\tally.exe .

Attribute – Data Source

The collection attribute Data Source is used to populate data to a collection dynamically from a variety of data sources. This attribute accepts the Type and Identity of the data source from where the data is to be retrieved. Directory , File XML , Name Set, and so on, are some of the data sources supported in TDL.

The collection attribute Data Source is enhanced to support Rule Set , Num Set , and Flag Set as new data source types. This attribute helps the developer to gather the data pertaining to Rule Set , Num Set , or Flag Set like other data source types. The information of Num Set and Flag Set give same results except for the value. The value of Num Set is a number and value of Flag Set is logical. These data sources can be used for generating reports using Value and User Description methods. Otherwise these can act as a debugging aid for the developer.

Syntax

[Collection: <Collection Name>]

Data Source: <Type>: <Identity>

Where,

<Collection Name> is the name of the collection where the data is populated.

<Type> specifies the type of data source. This enhancement includes Rule Set , Num Set and Flag Set as data source types.

<Identity> is the name of the Rule Set/Num Set/Flag Set. It can be an expression which results to the name of Num Set/Flag Set as specified in the corresponding data type.

Example

[Collection: DataSourceFSRepo]

Data Source: Flag Set: #FSDSVariable

The above code snippet helps to populate the collection DataSourceFSRepo with the data from the variable FSDSVariable , which returns a Flag Set name.
