Call command is supported in Native Mobile Applications Events. The objects to be called can be defined at design time or in execution time. We call the latter dynamic or variable calls.

The supported syntax is:

Call( {'pgm ' | &var | ATT:att} [ {,parm} …])

Other supported ways are stated in Calls to Elements in Work Withs from Native Mobile Applications Events.

Dynamic Calls

Syntax

Call( {&var | ATT:att}[ {, parm} …])

The format of &var or att is <type>:<name>[?<parameter>[{, parm} …]

The supported types are:

sd Dashboard, WorkWith for Smart Devices pattern instance, Panel for Smart Devices
prc REST Procedure
wbp Web Object
eo External Object
   
<name> Stands for the object name

Note:
Since GeneXus X Evolution 3 adds optimizations in build mechanisms, only the necessary metadata is generated for each main object and therefore you must also include dummy calls to the objects that are called dynamically and are not in the call tree of the main.

Examples

1. A dispatcher with fixed parameter

Event 'ViewPerson'
    Composite
        &Object = GetPersonDetailLayout(PersonType)
        call(&Object,PersonId)
    EndComposite
EndEvent
procedure: GetPersonDetailLayout

Parm(in:&PersonType,out:&Object);

if &PersonType = Type.Person
   &Object = "sd:WorkWithDevicesPerson.Person.Detail"
else
   &Object = "sd:WorkWithDevicesDean.Dean.Detail"
endif
2. A dispatcher with dynamic parameter assignment
Event 'ViewPerson'
    Composite
        &Object = GetPersonDetailLayout(PersonType,PersonId)
        call(&Object)
    EndComposite
EndEvent
procedure: GetPersonDetailLayout

Parm(in:&PersonType,in:&PersonId,out:&Object);

if &PersonType = Type.Person
   &Object = "sd:WorkWithDevicesPerson.Person.Detail?"+&PersonId.ToString().Trim()
else
   &Object = "sd:WorkWithDevicesDean.Dean.Detail?"+&PersonId.ToString().Trim()
endif
//and in some place of your main or object included in the main's call tree:
if 1 = 0
   WorkWithDevicesPerson.Person.Detail("1")
   WorkWithDevicesDean.Dean.Detail("1")
endif

Troubleshooting

Could not execute dyncall

The following error appears trying to execute a dynamic call.

Could not execute dyncall to /webapp/sd:objectname. The referenced object does not exist or is not included in the application call tree; check documentation for more information

Make sure you include a static code reference to the object to force its compilation and metadata generation.

Note

If the variable &Object is empty, the dynamic call ignores it.
