I'm now moving on to changing the getDataset routine to get a fresh dataset
from the database for each report run. In my tradition of re-using code I am
doing the following :-
- created a new Bizobj in biz (basically just a copy of my existing
one - but as I want a different cursor I need a different Bizobj)
- in my getDataset routine I have commented out my hard coded dataset.
- in my getDataset I have inserted code copied from my form where the
Bizobj is created as follows :-
def createBizobjs(self):
conn = self.Application.getConnectionByName("LodgeBooks")
membershiptypesRptBizobj =
self.Application.biz.MembershiptypesRptBizobj(conn)
self.addBizobj(membershiptypesRptBizobj)
self.requery()
I then plan to set ds equal to the cursor generated.
The thing is - in this code the self refers to the form (I think), which I
am no longer in - I am just in a code routine resident in db. This isn't an
object as such, so can I in fact create the Bizobj in it? This probably
reveals some naivity on my part regarding oo programming (was brought up
procedurally!) I don't think the solution is just to remove the 'self's -
maybe I need to do these things within the form (either the main form or the
report form). Sorry if this seems a bit elementary, but some guidance
appreciated.
