project QadFinancials > class BGLMask > method ApiSetGLMasksInitialise

Description

ApiSetGLMasksInitialise; this method will initialise the temp-table that is used as input for method ApiSetGLMasks.

After calling this method, you can call method ApiSetGLMasks and be sure that ApiSetGLMasks will only use the content of the input temp-table of ApiSetGLMasks.

Normaly, this Api-method will be called after calling Api-method 'ApiGetGLMaskCombinations' that returns the same temp-table as isused as input by this method.

Only the records in this temp-table with field 'tcStatus' equal to 'N' (new) or 'D' (delete) will be handled.
If tcStatus=D then field tiGLMaskID should be filled as well. If tcStatus=N then the ID-fields will be discarded and the Code-fields will be used for the creation.
Records with a value for field 'tcStatus' that differs from these values, will be discarded.

Note that this api-method will start by clearing all instance-data.

Do also note that field 'tlSelected' is of no use here.
