Example

This example calls deleteRecord, assigning the returned value to an instance of Result and calling Result.getCode to assign the error code to a variable which is then conditionally checked to determine the code to execute. If the call was not successful, the code calls throwError to display an error dialog.

String accountID = "";
// Some logic to populate accountID variable.
Result result = Functions.deleteRecord("ACCOUNT", accountID);
int resultCode = result.getCode();
if(resultCode < 0)
{
    // Some error happened.
    String msg = "Account could not be deleted";
    Logger.info(msg + ":\n" + result.getMessage(), "Delete");  // Log details
    Functions.throwError(msg + ".");                     // Error message
}
else 
{
    // Take other actions on successful addition
    // of the account.
}
