V4RB Need help with Retrieving Method Results

[Mike Albert]

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can provide me with a quick guidance on whether it is possible to retrieve the value of BaseObject method calculation.

I have done numerous tests with real fields in a BaseObject and also several calculation methods using these fields and am unable to get the methods value.....my code successfully retrieves field values from the current record of a Cursor but fails with a "NilObjectException" error.

Using VAPP and AppleScript I am able to successfully retrieve a method field so I know that the method definition is correct.

As an example I have defined to properties of a VBaseObject :
vSubfamily as Vstring
vCategory as Vstring

The below stastement works fine as the the "itemsubfasmily" field is of type String[8]
vSubfamily = vConfigRecordsCursor.Field("itemsubfamily").GetString

The next statement is where I get the exception error.  "category" is a method of type String[8]
vCategory = vConfigRecordsCursor.Field("category").GetString

I have tested the above code using V4RB 1.9.7

regards
Mike
