Put data in outgoing message
put(mpath)
Places the field(s)/record(s) as specified in mpath in the outmessage.
Returns: if successful, True, otherwise False.
If mpath contains None-values (typically because a get() gave no
result) nothing is placed in the outmessage, and put() returns False.
#put a message date in a edifact message
out.put({'BOTSID':'UNH'},{'BOTSID':'DTM','C507.2005':'137','C507.2380':'20070521'})
Explanation: put date '20070521' in field C507.2380 and code '137' in field C507.2005 of DTM-record; DTM-record is nested under UNH-record.
putloop(mpath)
Used to generate repeated records or record groups.
Recommended: only use it as in: line = putloop(mpath)
line is used as line.put()
Typical use: generate article lines in an order.
Note: do not use to loop over every record, use put() with the right
selection.
#loop over lines in edifact-order and write them to fixed in-house:
for lin in inn.getloop({'BOTSID':'UNH'},{'BOTSID':'LIN'}):
lou = out.putloop({'BOTSID':'HEA'},{'BOTSID':'LIN'})
lou.put({'BOTSID':'LIN','REGEL':lin.get({'BOTSID':'LIN','1082':None})})
lou.put({'BOTSID':'LIN','ARTIKEL':lin.get({'BOTSID':'LIN','C212.7140':None})})
lou.put({'BOTSID':'LIN','BESTELDAANTAL':lin.get({'BOTSID':'LIN'},
{'BOTSID':'QTY','C186.6063':'21','C186.6060':None})})
Warn: do not use
Never use 2 inn.get's in one out.put (unless you really know what you are doing ;-)
out.put({'BOTSID':'ADD','7747':inn.get('BOTSID':'HEA','name1':None),'7749':inn.get('BOTSID':'HEA','name2':None)})}
Because: if either name1 or name2 is not there (empty, None) nothing will be written in this statement.
