Not sure what the use case is, but before you code it, you can do that via workflow unless there is some complex logic there - just use a formula to update the text field

use this for comparing the recordtypes:

 

    RecordType accRecType=[Select Id From RecordType Where Name=:'RecordTypeName And SobjectType=:'Account' limit 1];

 

And inside your if loop you can compare the two recordtype ID for an opportunity.

 

    for(Opportunity opp:Trigger.New)

{

     if(opp.RecordTypeId=accRecType.Id)

{

}

}

Before you go down the Trigger path, consider if you can use Field History to accomplish this.

 

You can use Field History to track the changes of the Record Type.

 

Setup -> Customize -> Opportunity -> Fields - > Enable Field Tracking. Then select "Opportuinty Record Type".

hi,

 

Use debug log to find error..

 

you get this error because  your query result comes with no record [zero record];

 

plz check your record

Thank you all I resolved the problem by using a workflow which fires only when the record is created to copy the record type Id .
