How to copy a row or just few collummns from one table to another using a button

Where I can find any more detailed information about Ninox commands and language, I am struggling to finish my data base because I can't find enough info about how to use visual and text commands. I have seen all available info at  "https://ninoxdb.de/en/manual/calculations/reference-of-functions-and-language" and also videos on youtube but it is not enough.

I am looking for a code to make whole row or in the best case 2 colummns (Inventory ID and Inventory Name) from table "Inventory List" copy to table "Delivery List" using a button. Button will be added to the table "Inventory List" , im just choosing item then clicking on the button and entry goes to my table "Delivery List"

    With this code (button in Inventory List table) you can copy records to another table. 

    ---
    let variable1 := Inventory_Field1;
    let variable2 := Inventory_Field2;
    let variable3 := Inventory_Field3;
    let c := (create 'Delivery List');
    c.(Delivery_Field1 := variable1);
    c.(Delivery_Field2 := variable2);
    c.(Delivery_Field3 := variable3)

    ---

    Examine the code and change the field names to match yours.

    This will copy 3 fields, you can add more fields if you like.

    Hello Guys,

    Why can't one just do:

    let c := (create 'Delivery List');
    c.(Delivery_Field1 := Inventory_Field1);
    c.(Delivery_Field2 := Inventory_Field2);
    c.(Delivery_Field3 := Inventory_Field3)

    ?

    It's a matter of context. Inside the parentheses "c.( … )", the context is the just created record of the table "Delivery List", designated by the handle "c". When you put the identifier "Delivery_Field1" inside the parentheses, it designates the field so named of that record, and its OK. If you put the identifier "Inventory_Field1" inside the parentheses, you are trying to designate a field so named of that same record, which does not exist.

    You can give the Inventory recor a handle and then use it, such as

    let a:= this;

    let c := (create 'Delivery List');
    c.(Delivery_Field1 := a.Inventory_Field1);
    c.(Delivery_Field2 := a.Inventory_Field2);
    c.(Delivery_Field3 := a.Inventory_Field3)

     

    you can also use this format

     

    let a:= this;

    let c := (create 'Delivery List');
    c.(Delivery_Field1 := a.Inventory_Field1;
    Delivery_Field2 := a.Inventory_Field2;
    Delivery_Field3 := a.Inventory_Field3)

     

    Regards John

    Thanks guys!

    I think all would benefit with a clear explanation of scope and types returned for certain functions. The manual that serves as reference for NX script leaves a ton to be desired.

    In this instance you've clarified my doubts!
