@UpdateFormulaContext and @Command([Compose])
I found some interesting results using the @UpdateFormulaContext and the Compose command. It looks likes the tempary variables are actually pointers. Notice the difference (shown below) when the database information is stored in the variable instead of a string.
FromTitle := @DbTitle; FromServerPath := @DbName ; FromDB := @DbTitle + " | " + @Implode( @DbName ; "!!" ); @StatusBar( "From title " + FromTitle ); @StatusBar( "From path " + @Implode( FromServerPath ; "!!" ) ); @StatusBar( "From DB " + FromDB ); @StatusBar( "Before compose " ); @Command( [Compose] ;"" : "names.nsf" ; "Person" ); @StatusBar( "After compose " ); @StatusBar( "After compose From title " + FromTitle ); @StatusBar( "After compose From path " + @Implode( FromServerPath ; "!!" ) ); @StatusBar( "After compose From DB " + FromDB ); @UpdateFormulaContext; @StatusBar( "After Update Formula Context " ); @StatusBar( "After Update Formula Context From title " + FromTitle ); @StatusBar( "After Update Formula Context From path " + @Implode( FromServerPath ; "!!" ) ); @StatusBar( "After Update Formula Context From DB " + FromDB ); @StatusBar( "Names title " + @DbTitle ); @StatusBar( "Names path " + @Implode( @DbName ; "!!" ) ); @StatusBar( "Names DB " + @DbTitle + " | " + @Implode( @DbName ; "!!" ) );
Here are the results:
From title Some Database
From path !!somedb.nsf
From DB Some Database | !!somedb.nsf
Before compose
After compose
After compose From title Some Database
After compose From path !!somedb.nsf
After compose From DB Some Database | !!somedb.nsf
After Update Formula Context
After Update Formula Context From title Someone's Address Book
After Update Formula Context From path !!names.nsf
After Update Formula Context From DB Some Database | !!somedb.nsf
Names title Someone's Address Book
Names path !!names.nsf
Names Someone's Address Book | !!names.nsf
