It's common to receive this error message when performing an @DBLookup: "The specified database look-up generated more than 65,000 bytes of results, which is too large for Lotus Notes to handle in this context."
To overcome this, we can make use of "prompt method" -- with a multi-value selection option.
- Create one button.
- Create two fields -- category and doc_Readers, with the "computed" and "allow multiple values" options selected.
- Under category field, select/enter the keyword option -- keyword document will be available.
- When clicking the button in the second field, values will be populated based on the option selected in the first field.
Here is the code:
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim doc As notesdocument
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim temp As String
Dim newdoc As notesdocument
Dim newview As notesview
Set session = New NotesSession
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set ws = New NotesUIWorkspace
Set uidoc = ws.CurrentDocument
temp=uidoc.fieldgettext("Category")
Set doc = uidoc.document
Set newview = db.getview("Enter View Name")
Set newdoc = newview.getdocumentbykey(temp, True)
If uidoc.IsNewDoc Then
returnvalue = ws.Prompt(PROMPT_OKCANCELLISTMULT,
"Search Customer Codes", "Please select",
"" , newdoc.Doc_Readers)
doc.Doc_Readers = returnvalue
Else
returnvalue = ws.Prompt(PROMPT_OKCANCELLISTMULT,
"Search Customer Codes", "Please select",
"" , newdoc.Doc_Readers)
Set item = doc.getfirstitem("Doc_Readers")
Call item.appendtotextlist(returnvalue)
Call uidoc.Refresh
End If
End Sub
