rbv_api.selectCustomerValue()

Warning: Support for using this method with external objects (such as those mapped to external tables, to OpenEdge Service objects, or through a HDP connection) is a beta feature. This method is supported in production systems, except for external objects.

Purpose

Similar to selectValue() returns a single value, but is called from the master server and runs on the customer with the specified ID.

Note: When used in a trigger on a customer object with "After Create" timing, this API should be made to run as a delayed trigger

Syntax

Parameters

query

SQL SELECT query. See Query API for examples and limitations.

args

Permissions required

The current user must be logged into the master server. Unless this API is being used in delayed triggers or scheduled batch jobs, the current user must have either administrative permissions or View permission on the Customer object and the selected object type.
