GetDocument without version number

Hello

How can i get use the Database.GetDocument(100, 0) without knowing the version number?

A workaround would to always fetch version 1 (and increment until a valid document is found) and then document.Latestversion will return the last version, but that seems a bit overkill.. there must be an easier way ;-)

Thanks

Marco

You create a search parameter where the docnum = 100

oSearch = oDMS.CreateProfileSearchParameters
oSearch.Add(imProfileDocNum, "100")
oDocuments = oWorkarea.SearchDocuments(oManStrings, oSearch, True)

Thanks!

In my case i've got a list of x number of documents. I can create an OR query and add all the documentnumbers.. Is there a limit on the number of OR (and AND) combinations?

ps. Where can i add an feature request to add support for
database.GetDocument(number, 0)
0 = get the latest version.

Thanks

once you got

oDocument = oDatabase.Getdocument(num,1) 'put in version

then

get the latest version

with oDocver = oDocument.versions

Marco_at_NL

oDocument = oDatabase.Getdocument(num,1) 'put in version

This can also fail, because version 1 doesn't have to exist..

Thanks

You cant' use the GetDocument Method to search for a specific document without specifying a version number. Zero is not a legal version number.

It would also not make much sense to use complex searching (OR query) to accomplish this.

Using the SearchDocuments Method is the best bet. It should not be too painful to call this method in iteration for each document in your list.

Thanks, i'm trying this right now, but i do think that it's a useful request to support GetDocument without specifying a version number with the result that the function will return the latest version

(edit: feature request has been done)

Thanks
