I use info(“Changes”) in my Organic System Plan sections, 16 files, to automatically change the date if I changed the information as opposed to just looking at it when I close the file. Is there a way to do this in Pan X?
The short answer is no, you cannot do this in Panorama X.
First of all, as you have noticed, there is not info(“changes”) function. In earlier versions of Panorama, Panorama itself kept track of changes. But in Panorama X, that is kept track of by Apple. Panorama doesn’t have access to that number.
But even if it did, you’d have another stumbling block - there is no way for you to run code when the database closes. Apple’s document system simply doesn’t allow for this. I have spent quite a bit of time researching this, because it would be nice. It’s just not possible.
I am wondering what you mean by “change the date”. What date? Where is this date kept?
Note that the system keeps track of the file modification date, you can see it in the Finder. You can also access it using the filesuperdate( function. So maybe that is the date you are looking for, and you don’t need to keep track of it yourself.
Can you change whatever date you are talking about whenever you make a change, rather than when you close the file?
You can create an extra field and put a time stamp there on a per-record-basis whenever a record is changed. Have a look in the Help (with full text search) for “time stamp” and “.ModifyRecord” or other triggered procedures:
I have a date field that I was changing so a procedure could select and print updated sections. The .ModifyRecord procedure will do the trick.
