This option allows the setting within Profiler screens of additional replicate options to copy back twelve items from the new record to the original record and to record the original ‘prime-index’ on the new record.
Within the screen design select ‘Parameters’ and then ‘Extra File / Record Lookup and Updating’ followed by ‘Custom Points’.
Set the option ‘9906’ as the custom point number, leave the suffix blank and you will be prompted to change the ‘Copy Items During Replicate’ definition – respond ‘Yes’ to this.
Copy NEW record item to OLD item – here you set up to twelve copy items to be actioned from the new record back to the old record (i.e. the record being copied) to be actioned on update to file of the new record.
Flag NEW record with OLD index – here you specify a data item where the new record is to hold the prime-index of the record being copied. Note: Screen parameters allow the flagging of the OLD record with the prime-index of the NEW record.
