| Connection Macros |
| Macro |
Meaning |
CONNECTIONID |
The relationship ID of the connection next to
the selected child business object in the Navigator browser. |
CONNECTIONDIRECTION |
The relationship direction (to
or from) of the connection next to the selected child
business object in the Navigator browser. |
The connection macros are available only when the program is launched
as a method from an object displayed in a Navigator window AND if the
object is not the expanded object. Both macros will be empty if:
- no connection is displayed, as in the case when the selected business
object is in a flat browser;
- more than one connection is shown, as when the selected object is
in the center of a star browser or at the top of an indented browser.
In some cases the macros will not even be placed in the RPE. This situation
occurs when a method is invoked programmatically (either from a program
object or interactive MQL) or if a program is not executed as a method
(i.e. from the toolbar).
Most programs that use a connection have access to the following:.
