Title: Copy Record with Error Log
Question: This article shows how to copy a data record from one table to another while catching all errors.
Answer:
This procedure will copy all destination table fields that are found in the source table. Source table fields that do not exists in the destination table will not be copied. A log of all problems (when an exception is thrown) is accumulated. The example below places an error message into a TListBox.
The Source and Destination tables do not have to be the same Brand of table. This can be used to convert from one database to another.
Source Code:
procedure CopyRecord(aSource : TTable; aDestination : TDBISAMTable);
var
nCount : integer;
begin
for nCount := 0 to aDestination.FieldCount - 1 do
begin
try
aDestination.FindField(aSource.Fields[nCount].FieldName).Assign(aSource.FieldByName(aSource.Fields[nCount].FieldName));
except
on E: Exception do
listboxStatus.Items.Add(aDestination.TableName + '- ' + E.Message);
end;
end;
end;
