Syntax
LinkedDonorFor( <CharacterValue> )
Purpose
LinkedDonorFor() is a numeric function that returns the ID number of a donor who is linked to the current donor via a specific linkage code.
Parameters
A linkage code.
Returns
The ID number of a linked donor corresponding to the specified linkage code.
Usage
LinkedDonorFor() is primarily a reporting function which is used to fetch the ID number of a donor who is linked to the current donor via a specific linkage code. This ID number may then be used with other functions (such as the IDLookUp() function) to print information about the linked donor.
Example
The following examples illustrate LinkedDonorFor():
CALL |
RESULT |
---|---|
LinkedDonorFor( "FATHER" ) |
236281 |
IDLookUp( LinkedDonorFor( "FATHER" ), .Last_Name. ) |
Weston |
IDLookUp( LinkedDonorFor( "FATHER" ), .First_Name. ) |
James |
If for the current donor there is no linked donor for a specific linkage code, then LinkedDonorFor() would return zero, and in the above example, IDLookup() would return nothing (resulting in nothing printing).
