String := RecordRef.GETPOSITION([UseNames])

Parameters

RecordRef

Type: RecordRef

The RecordRef that refers to the record for which you want to know the primary key.

UseNames

Type: Boolean

Indicates whether a reference to the field name or the field number should be returned.

If this parameter is true (default) or if it is empty, the returned string contains references to field names in the table with which the record is associated. If the parameter is false, the returned string contains references to field numbers in the table with which the record is associated.

This parameter is optional.

Type: Text or code

The name or number of the field that contains the primary key.

This function works just like the GETPOSITION Function (Record).

The following example opens the Customer table as a RecodRef that is named RecRef. The RecordRef variable uses the GETPOSITION function to retrieve the position of the primary key. The UseNames parameter is set to true so the name of the field that contains the primary key is returned. If you set UseNames to false, the number of the field is returned. This example requires that you create the following variables in the C/AL Globals window.

RecRef.OPEN(DATABASE::Customer); varPrimaryKey := RecRef.GETPOSITION(TRUE); MESSAGE(Text000, varPrimaryKey);
