Retrieving Customizable User Defined Field (CUDF) List Values with SBO

The UFD List data is stored in the USER_DEF_FIELDS table. It looks like this:

 

You can retrieve it with a direct SQL query, but you need to know the UDF’s ID for the field in question. Here is an example:

SELECT PROGRAM_ID, ID, DOCUMENT_ID, LINE_NO, DEL_LINE_NO, DATA_TYPE, STRING_VAL

FROM USER_DEF_FIELDS

WHERE PROGRAM_ID = 'STATIC_DATA'

AND ID = 'UDF-0000094'

AND DOCUMENT_ID IS NULL

AND LINE_NO IS NOT NULL

AND DEL_LINE_NO IS NULL

AND DATA_TYPE = '10050'

ORDER BY LINE_NO ASC

 

The bigger picture is:

 

Rows 1-4 – the list values (DATA_TYPE = 10050)

Row 5 – the list name (DATA_TYPE = 1005)

Rows 6 and higher are Document instances of the List UDF.

In SBO you would do this where “conn” is the SBO DatabaseConnection object:

 

The “using” statements clean up the “IDbCommand” and “IDataReader” objects to avoid resource leaks:

                List<string> list = new List<string>();

                using (IDbCommand cmd = conn.CreateNewCommand)

                {

                    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

                    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT STRING_VAL " +

                                        "FROM USER_DEF_FIELDS " + 

                                        "WHERE PROGRAM_ID = 'STATIC_DATA' " + 

                                        "AND ID = 'UDF-0000094' " +

                                        "AND DOCUMENT_ID IS NULL " +

                                        "AND LINE_NO IS NOT NULL " +

                                        "AND DEL_LINE_NO IS NULL " +

                                        "AND DATA_TYPE = '10050' " +

                                        "ORDER BY LINE_NO ASC";

                    using (IDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())

                    {

                        while (reader.Read())

                        {

                            list.Add(reader.GetValue(0).GetType().Name == "DBNull" ? null : reader.GetString(0));

                        }

                    }

                }
