FAQ

Why when click Compile Script button prompt error [Error] (xx:xx):Unknown identifier 'Dataset'

This happen if you doing script on the event OnGridColumnValueChanged & can ignore the error if you confirm your script is correct.

How do I know my script is correct when using the script on the event OnGridColumnValueChanged ?

You can add below script at 1st line before you click Compile Script button but remember to remove it before you click Save button.

How many data source (TDatasource) it had for data entry (eg Sales Invoice) & what is each name?

Generally it had 3 data source & some had extra 1 (i.e. total 4).
Name Description
dsDocMaster Header fields
dsDocDetail Detail or Item Fields
dsSerialNumber Serial Number Fields

How to check the Record in Edit Mode?

You can use below script
... //yr other code
var AState : TDataSetState;
    M      : TDataSource;
begin
  M := TDataSource(Self.FindComponent('dsDocMaster'));
  AState := M.DataSet.State;
  if (AState = dsInsert) or (AState = dsEdit)  then
    MessageDlg('Yes In Edit Mode', mtInformation, [mbOK], 0);
end;
