Define type

[shelane]

If I define a type and I want it to require and set a value when that type
is called, is it not like this:

define_type('events', -namespace='site_');

local(
    'sysID' = integer
);

define_tag('onCreate');
    self->'sysID';
/define_tag;

/define_type;

Var('myitem' = site_events(28));


The value is 0 when I try to execute a member tag:
//this is defined within the define_type tag
define_tag('checkDate', -req='event', -type='string');

inline(-database='systems', -table='site_events', -search, -eq,
'system'=(self->'sysID'), -eq, 'event'=#event, -username=$su,
-password=$sp);
    return(iserror ? error_currenterror | found_count ' ' action_statement '
' field('dateExec'));
/inline;

/define_tag;

//calling the tag:
$myitem->checkDate('import');

The action_statement is showing that the ID it's checking is 0.

Taking a guess at things:

define_type('events', -namespace='site_');

  local(
     'sysID' = integer
  );

  define_tag('onCreate',-req='sysID'); // Need to set internal value here
     self->'sysID' = #sysID;
  /define_tag;

/define_type;

Ke.

Hmmm. Looks promising, but I'm getting this:

Error Message:  No tag, type or constant was defined under the name "¬†¬† ¬†
self".
Error Code:  -9948

Probably some funky characters in there from the copy and paste -
simply retype it and you should be fine.

That should work. If you want to enforce the data type of the incoming  
variable, you need to add the -type flag immediately after the -
required in your oncreate.
