Format


Get(RecordModificationCount)

Parameter

None

Data type returned

number

Description

Returns the total number of times changes to the current record have been committed. To commit changes, you can, for example:

click out of all fields (exit the record)

go to a different record

enter Find mode

If multiple windows are open, clicking in another window does not commit the record.

Notes

If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context, this function will be evaluated based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.

See Solving calculations on a host machine for information about running scripts in client/server and peer-to-peer environments.

Get(RecordModificationCount)returns NULL for ODBC data sources.

Example

Returns 0 if the record has not been modified since it was created.

If changes are made to four fields and all four fields are committed together, the result increments by one. If changes are made to four fields and each change is committed separately, the result increments by four.
