Page behaviour

Hi All

I have a page (as opposed to a table) where I can scan or type in a reference in a field and find the record I am looking for. The field is called Scan and it is set a to be a Global variable in memory (browser).

This version doesn't find the record

let a := this;
let b := first(select StockByBin where Scan = a.Scan);

This version does find the record

let a := this.Scan;
let b := first(select StockByBin where Scan = a);

Any ideas why?

Regards John

    I can't duplicate it on cloud. Both codes give me the same results. Is Scan a text field?

    Thanks for looking Fred. It’s not a problem. I was just intrigued. I might have a delve sometime.

    Hi Fred. It's to do with the Binding setting, which makes sense. a :=this will get the record OK but in the select statement a.Scan won't know who's Scan value to take. All in all it's not a bug but something to be aware of.
