SX5 — Generic tables

Organizes generic-table codes and descriptions.

SX5 — Generic tablesAdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

SX5 holds code domains used by routines. The community example distinguishes positioned-record fDescSX5 from SX5Desc, which receives generic-table identifier and key. Displaying a description does not validate business-rule eligibility. The block uses table 02/key PI from the source without assuming the record exists or has identical descriptions in every language. (Sources: refs. 1–2.)

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"

User Function Ed684()
    // Community lookup pattern; block not invoked.
    Local bDescription := {|| SX5Desc("02","PI")}
    ConOut(ValType(bDescription))
Return Nil

Expected result

Creates block B without reading or writing SX5. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Check table, key, branch and language; handle missing entries without fabricating a successful description.
