you can describe the object and get all the fields at once and then loop through it.

you can use the following :

 

Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> M = Schema.SObjectType.ObjectName.fields.getMap();

for(String fieldName : M.keySet())

{

if(masterRecord.get(fieldName) == null && childRecord.get(fieldName) != null)

{

masterRecord.put(fieldName, childRecord.get(fieldName));

}

}

 

this code will process all the field at once.

you can use masterObject.get('fieldName') method to check that if parent record's field is having a null value and if it's true then you can get the child record value using the same method childRecord.get('fieldName') and put in the master one masterRecord.put('fieldName',fieldValue);

 I am very thankful for your reply,

 

         But is there any way to get them with a single step,because if i have 100 fields

         then it becomes difficult to get all those field and put. Is it possible with mergeresult[ ]?
