Description

Stores the calculation materials file

Code example

This code example creates a new calculation, reads a standard article into it, adds a material and operation to it and saves it as a standard article. Whether the save was succesful is reported to the user.

dim objCalc

  set objCalc = pdc.NewCalculation
  objCalc.ReadFromArticle("1234")
  objCalc.MaterialList.Add("12345")
  if objCalc.SaveAsArticle then
    msgbox "Calculation " & objCalc.CalculationNo & " was saved successfully"
    objCalc.Show
  else
    msgbox "An error has occurred while saving calculation " & objCalc.CalculationNo & ": " & pdc.lasterror
  end if
