Public Bulk As FCBulk
Description
This property allows you to specify the bulk object for this generic. Or you can get the bulk object associated with this generic.
In almost all cases, you will not need to use this method. Bulks are automatically created by FCFL, and you do not need to worry about them.
Rather than using this property, you will usually just use the BulkName property to set the name of the bulk associated with this generic. If that bulk name does not exist, FCFL will build it for you.
When generic objects are created, they are associated with a special bulk, whose name is the empty string ("").
Example
The following example creates two generic objects. One is assigned to a bulk via the BulkName property. The other is moved into the same bulk with the Bulk property.
JavaScript:
The code in this example is written in JavaScript for inclusion in ASP pages.
// Create the first object
var boObj1 = FCSession.CreateGeneric();
boObj1.SimpleQuery("part_num");
boObj1.BulkName = "my_bulk";
// Create the other object. Put it in the same bulk as the first
var boObj2 = FCSession.CreateGeneric();
boObj2.SimpleQuery("part_num");
boObj2.Bulk = boObj1.Bulk;
// Show that the bulks are now the same
Response.Write ("Bulk 1 name is: " + boObj1.Bulk.Name);
Response.Write ("Bulk 2 name is: " + boObj2.Bulk.Name);
Visual Basic:
The code in this example is written in Visual Basic.
Dim boObj1 As FCGeneric
Dim boObj2 As FCGeneric
Set boObj1 = fc_session.CreateGeneric
boObj1.SimpleQuery "part_num"
boObj1.BulkName = "my_bulk"
Set boObj2 = fc_session.CreateGeneric
boObj2.SimpleQuery "part_num"
boObj2.Bulk = boObj1.Bulk
MsgBox "Bulk 1 name is: " & boObj1.Bulk.Name
