Dynamics SL: Adding Custom Tables - tsql

Question

So I have been trying to add a custom table to a preexisting screen in Dynamics SL and I can't seem to get anything to work. Currently I have this on the Form_Load event
Private Sub Form1_Load()
Call VBA_SetAddr("bSOShipLot_Alias", bSOShipLot_Alias, nSOShipLot_Alias, LenB(bSOShipLot_Alias))
Call SqlCursorEx(CSR_SOShipLot_Alias, NOLEVEL, "CSR_SOShipLot_Alias", "SOShipLot_Alias", "SOShipLot_Alias")
End Sub
I try to add a cursor variable to the Module page
Public CSR_SOShipLot_Alias As Integer
but this just crashes the screen. The documentation for this sort of thing is scarce and I've looked through all the SDK documentation we have and have come up with almost nothing pertaining to this.

Answer 1

so to add a new table through the customization manager do the following:
1. Add Module file with setup of the custom table you're trying to add (see below for example)
Option Explicit
Attribute VB_Name = "FCGenKeyValDH"
Type FCGenKeyVal
Comments As String * 250
Crtd_DateTime As SDate
Crtd_Prog As String * 8
Crtd_User As String * 10
Key1 As String * 30
Key2 As String * 30
Key3 As String * 30
LinkedTable As String * 30
LUpd_DateTime As SDate
LUpd_Prog As String * 8
LUpd_User As String * 10
Purpose As String * 30
Id As Long
Status As String * 1
User1 As String * 30
User2 As String * 30
User3 As Double
User4 As Double
User5 As String * 10
User6 As String * 10
User7 As SDate
User8 As SDate
Value As String * 30
End Type
Public bFCGenKeyVal As FCGenKeyVal, nFCGenKeyVal As FCGenKeyVal
on the Form_Load() event add the reference to the buffer table and the SQL cursors
Call VBA_SetAddr("bFCGenKeyVal", bFCGenKeyVal, nFCGenKeyVal,LenB(bFCGenKeyVal))
Call SqlCursorEx(CSR_FCGenKeyVal, NOLEVEL, "CSR_FCGenKeyVal", "FCGenKeyVal", "FCGenKeyVal")
In the declaration file add the cursor variable
Public CSR_FCGenKeyVal As Integer
save changes, close screen and reopen. The table should appear in the add object wizard which tells you the custom table is linked to the screen.
