Memo in JS?

[Lukus]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to email out the content of a Change record, all looks fine except for the output of any memo type fields.
they come out with a piece of code at the front and soem seperators between each line.

eg:
[C++ object Datum] @0x155d6c18 - {"This is test text.", , "second line test text"}

don't spose there is a neat way of printing out this text?

Thanks!

The "memo" field is of the regulat SCArray type. How are you sending the emails? If you are using a js based script, you might need to "convert" the SCArray to a regular array.

yeah, sending from JS, setting content and then writting an eventout all in the one neat little script.

convert you say? will give it a go and report back. thanks!

you just need to pull the lines out of it. easiest I think is to use a for loop, use field.length() to get the length of it, you can reference each line with field[i].

Another option is the following JS code:

for (x in record.fieldname)
retstr+=record.fieldname[x];

and if you want line breaks:

for (x in record.fieldname)
retstr+="\n"+record.fieldname[x];

I was tired of being handcuffed by the notification engine, so I now have an add-on for SM that will allow you to add notification lines to existing notification records without ever looking at the notification record. It's a completely seperate table and allows JS configuration for condition, subject, message, and recipients. At the same time, simple checkboxes determine if it's a page, whether to log an activity record, run in a TEST mode, or disable it altogether. You can even test the notification line as you build it...
