Create relationship of current found set?

[Chris Christou]

I have a Purchases DB containing 2 tables, the first table (Purchases) contains the order information and the second table (purchasesItems) contains the line items to that order via a relationship [PurchaseOrderNumber = PurchaseOrderNumber].

My Question:

Is there a way show related line items from the current found set in the Purchases table.

Example:

If the current found set in the Purchases table displays say Purchase Order numbers:

PO.0001

PO.0004

PO.0020

I would like to create a GoToRelated or Find script which would take me to the PurchasesItems table and display all the related line items from the current found set above.

A simple looping script "CompilePOs In Found Set" to put the list of IDs in a global

Set Field[ g_POID ; """" ]

Go To Record [First]

Loop

Set Field[ g_POID ; "g_POID & POID & "<Carriage Return>"" ]

Go To Record [Next, Exit After Last]

End Loop

Then you'll have a Global that contains

"PO.0001

PO.0004

PO.0020"

In the relationships Graph add a table occurance called "Purchases Found Set", that is based on the PurchaseItems table and uses the relationship

Purchases::g_POID = PurchaseItems::PurchaseOrderNumber

Then create a relationship based on this Table occurance (i.e. based on the Purchase Items table) and write another script to

Go To Related Record ["Purchases Found Set" ; Show results in layout "New Layout" ]
