process, the FDA is deleted. If this flag is set, the array is never deleted.

must be in the format input by the user. The value is validated and filed if
it is valid. If the flag is not set, values must be in internal format and

FLAGS |
Input |
(Optional) Flags to control processing. The possible
values are:
E External values are processed. If this flag is set, the values in the FDA
must be in the format input by the user. The Updater validates all values and
converts them to internal format. Invalid values cancel the entire
transaction.
If the flag is not set, values must be in internal format and must be valid.
S The Updater Saves the FDA instead of killing it at the end.

Array, which describes the entries to add to the database.
|
IEN_ROOT |
Both |

Output: As the Updater assigns record numbers to the records described in the
FDA, it sets up nodes in the IEN Array to indicate how it decoded the sequence
numbers.

messages. If the MSG_ROOT is not passed, errors are returned descendent from

FIELD |
Input |
(Required) Field number of the word processing field
into which data is being filed.
|
FLAGS |
Input |
(Optional) Flags to control processing. The possible
values are:
A Append new word processing text to the current word processing data. If this

(Required) The root of the array that contains the
word processing data to be filed.

$$KEYVAL() |
The Key Validator extrinsic function verifies that
new values contained in the FDA do not produce an invalid key. All keys in
which any field in the FDA participates are checked. If the value for a field
in a key being checked is not present in the FDA, the value used to verify the
key is obtained from the previously filed data.
Format $$KEYVAL^DIE(FLAGS,FDA_ROOT,MSG_ROOT)
|
| VARIABLES |
TYPE |
VARIABLES DESCRIPTION |
FLAGS |
Both |
(Optional) Flags to control processing. The possible
values are:
Q = Quit when the first problem in the FDA is encountered.
|
FDA_ROOT |
Both |
(Required) The root of the FDA that contains the data
to be checked. The array can be a local or global one. See the Database Server
Introduction for details of the structure of the FDA.
The value of fields in the FDA must be the internal value. Do not pass
external (e.g., unresolved pointer values, non-FileMan dates) in the FDA.
No action is taken on fields in the referenced FDA if those fields do not
participate in a Key defined in the KEY file.
|
MSG_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The root of an array into which error
messages are returned. If this parameter is not included, errors are returned
in the default array: ^TMP("DIERR",$J).
|
0/1 |
Output |
The function returns a 1 if key integrity is not
violated by any value in the FDA and a 0 if an invalid key was produced by any
of the values.
|
|
VALS() |
The Fields Validator procedure validates data for a
group of fields and converts valid data to internal VA FileMan format. It is
intended for use with a set of fields that comprise a logical record; fields
from more than one file can be validated by a single call. By default, the
integrity of any keys affected by the new values is checked.
The Fields Validator performs the same checks performed by VAL^DIE (see for
details).
Format VALS^DIE(FLAGS,FDA_EXT_ROOT,FDA_INT_ROOT,MSG_ROOT)
|
| VARIABLES |
TYPE |
VARIABLES DESCRIPTION |
FLAGS |
Input |
(Optional) Flags to control processing. The possible
values are:
K - If the file has a Primary Key, this flag indicates that the Primary Key
fields, not the .01 field, are to be used for lookup in the Finding and
LAYGO/Finding nodes of the FDA. Without this flag, VALS^DIE assumes that you
want to file the fields in the Primary Key, rather than use them for lookup,
and performs the uniqueness check. This flag is equivalent to the "K" flag in
the Updater (UPDATE^DIE).
R - Records identified by IENSs in the FDA_EXT are verified to exist and to be
editable. (Same as R flag for VAL^DIE.)
U - Don't perform key validation. Without this flag, the data in the FDA is
checked to ensure that no duplicate keys are created and that key field values
are not deleted.
|
FDA_EXT_ROOT |
Input |
(Required) The root of a standard FDA. This array
should contain the external values that you want to validate. This is the
input array. See the Database Server Introduction for details of the structure
of the FDA.
|
FDA_INT_ROOT |
Both |
(Required) The root of a standard FDA. This FDA is
the output array, and upon return is set equal to the internal values of each
validated field. If a field fails validation, its value is set to an up-arrow
(^). (NOTE: If a field is valid, the corresponding node in the output array is
set to the internal value, not an up-arrow (^), even if that field violates
key integrity.) See the Database Server Introduction for details of the
structure of the FDA
|
MSG_ROOT |
Both |
(Optional) The root of an array (local or global)
into which error messages are returned. If this parameter is not included,
error messages are returned in the default array: ^TMP("DIERR",$J).
