Application Engine Peoplecode bind variables


I have the below PeopleCode step in an Application Engine program that reads a CSV file using a File Layout and then inserts the data into a table, and I am just trying to get a better understanding of how the the line of code (&SQL1 = CreateSQL("%Insert(:1)");) in the below script gets generated. It looks like the CreateSQL is using a bind variable (:1) inside the Insert statement, but I am struggling as where to find where this variable is defined in the program.

Function EditRecord(&REC As Record) Returns boolean;
   Local integer &E;

   &REC.ExecuteEdits(%Edit_Required + %Edit_DateRange + %Edit_YesNo + %Edit_OneZero);
   If &REC.IsEditError Then
      For &E = 1 To &REC.FieldCount
         &MYFIELD = &REC.GetField(&E);
         If &MYFIELD.EditError Then
            &MSGNUM = &MYFIELD.MessageNumber;
            &MSGSET = &MYFIELD.MessageSetNumber;
            &LOGFILE.WriteLine("****Record:" | &REC.Name | ", Field:" | &MYFIELD.Name);
            &LOGFILE.WriteLine("****" | MsgGet(&MSGSET, &MSGNUM, ""));
         End-If;
      End-For;
      Return False;
   Else
      Return True;
   End-If;
End-Function;

Function ImportSegment(&RS2 As Rowset, &RSParent As Rowset)
   Local Rowset &RS1, &RSP;
   Local string &RecordName;
   Local Record &REC2, &RECP;
   Local SQL &SQL1;
   Local integer &I, &L;
   &SQL1 = CreateSQL("%Insert(:1)");
   rem &SQL1 = CreateSQL("%Insert(:1) Order by COUNT_ORDER");
   &RecordName = "RECORD." | &RS2.DBRecordName;
   &REC2 = CreateRecord(@(&RecordName));
   &RECP = &RSParent(1).GetRecord(@(&RecordName));
   For &I = 1 To &RS2.ActiveRowCount
      &RS2(&I).GetRecord(1).CopyFieldsTo(&REC2);
      If (EditRecord(&REC2)) Then
         &SQL1.Execute(&REC2);
         &RS2(&I).GetRecord(1).CopyFieldsTo(&RECP);
         For &L = 1 To &RS2.GetRow(&I).ChildCount
            &RS1 = &RS2.GetRow(&I).GetRowset(&L);
            If (&RS1 <> Null) Then
               &RSP = &RSParent.GetRow(1).GetRowset(&L);
               ImportSegment(&RS1, &RSP);
            End-If;
         End-For;
         If &RSParent.ActiveRowCount > 0 Then
            &RSParent.DeleteRow(1);
         End-If;
      Else
         &LOGFILE.WriteRowset(&RS);
         &LOGFILE.WriteLine("****Correct error in this record and delete all error messages");
         &LOGFILE.WriteRecord(&REC2);
         For &L = 1 To &RS2.GetRow(&I).ChildCount
            &RS1 = &RS2.GetRow(&I).GetRowset(&L);
            If (&RS1 <> Null) Then
               &LOGFILE.WriteRowset(&RS1);
            End-If;
         End-For;
      End-If;

Solution

  • The :1 is coming from the line further down &SQL1.Execute(&REC2);

    &REC2 gets assigned a record object, so the line &SQL1.Execute(&REC2); evaluates to %Insert(your_record_object)

    Here is a simple example that's doing basically the same thing

    Here is a description of %Insert
