You use the SETDATA and GETDATA functions for transferring data in a notification. The functions are typically needed for handling actions on the notification. The SETDATA function is called from the source of the notification, while the GETDATA function is called from the action code.

For more information and a detailed example, see Notifications.

Example

The following code sets the data for a notification:

MyNotification.MESSAGE := 'This is a notification';
MyNotification.SCOPE := NOTIFICATIONSCOPE::LocalScope;
MyNotification.SETDATA('Created',FORMAT(CURRENTDATETIME,0,9));
MyNotification.SETDATA('ID',FORMAT(CREATEGUID,0,9));
MyNotification.ADDACTION('Action 1',CODEUNIT::"Action Handler",'RunAction1');
MyNotification.ADDACTION('Action 2',CODEUNIT::"Action Handler",'RunAction2');
MyNotification.SEND;

The following code gets the data for a notification:

MyNotification.GETDATA('Created');
MyNotification.GETDATA('ID');
