How To Insert Data into UniData using UniObjects for .NET

Question

I am working on inserting data into our UniData server from .net.

I have successfully updated an existing record using UniQuery by using the Modify statement. And according to the documentation, I can insert new data this way also:

"UniQuery also provides the MODIFY command, which enables you to enter or modify data in a UniData file." - Using UniQuery: pg 1-2

I can't get manage to insert new records this way, though.

Any advice is appreciated.

Answer 1

In UniData, you cannot programmatically insert new records using UniQuery.

At ECL you can manually create records using UNIENTRY if the appropriate dictionary items have been defined or you can use ED or AE to create them. All 3 of these require the user to manually enter data however.

To create new records programmatically you should create a subroutine specifically used for the task and call this via UniObjects.NET
