Templates: Template snippets to derrive FileManger to add NULL values where needed

No problem. It doesn't look very pretty now, been some adjustements and more
to come. I will kill the Select Max() type of autoinc.

What I do to get this work is to let AutoInc be checked on the key to
generate the call
The first field in the recordstructure must be the Seed field
I never call PrimeAutoInc directly, since I depend on some fields to be
NULL, I call primerecord.
I add the below template on the files that need it, that is the files where
I need to immedialtely know the ID.
I will also have to handle the cancelautoinc and set some flags for autoinc
done


#Extension(AdiEnableSeed,'Enable SEED'),Application,Multi,Description('Seed
for '& %AdiFile)
#Display('This template requires the AdiSQLFM class')
#Prompt('File',File),%AdiFile
#Prompt('Max value',Check),%MaxIt
#At(%FileManagerCodeSection,%AdiFile,'Init','(File File,ErrorClass EC)')
 !Self.SqlAutoInc = True
 #If(Not %MaxIt)
 Self.SqlAutoInc =1
 #Else
 Self.SqlAutoInc=2
 #End
#EndAT

This is the template I use to set null on some fields. All fields that
should be primed with a default value from other file is checked and I can
also add some other fields if I like.
Note that I change the SuppressClear parameter to avoid NULL being set to 0.


#Extension(AdiSetNULL,'SETNULL() on all empty fields before
insert'),Application,Multi,Description('SETNULL '& %ADiFile)
#Prompt('Select File',File),%AdiFile
#Display('Field that have initial value will always be checked')
#Button('Select fields to null'),Multi(%AdiFields,%Adifield),Inline
#Prompt('Select Field',Field(%Adifile)),%AdiField
#EndButton
#At(%FileManagerCodeSection,%AdiFile,'PrimeRecord','(Byte SuppressClear =
0),BYTE'),Priority(2500)
#Declare(%MyF)
#Fix(%File,%AdiFile)
If Not SuppressClear #
