Urgent help

Hi,
I have a requirement like to create a new record based on the picklist value and associate new one to the  old
record via look up field on the same object, Is it possible, can someone help how to do this ?
Thanks a lot inadvance.

I have tried like this,but no luck getting errors :-(

 


sObject oldobj;
if(sObject.picklist_c == 'xxx')
  {

   sObject newobj = new sObject();
     newobj.Field1 = 'sometext';
     newobj.Field2 = 'sometext';

     // inser newobj.values( );
     insert newobj;
  }

   oldobj.LookupField__c = newobj.Id;
   update oldobj;

 

 

Thanks& Regards,

Hi,

newObj variable is defined inside the if, it won't be available outside the if scope.

i think you should use the variable instead of the object name

 

if (oldobj.picklist__c == 'xxx')
...

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reply. 

It was a Typo mistake. Getting errors with the code in RED color only i.e., lookup  old record with new record ( association).

 

sObject oldobj;
if(oldobj.picklist_c == 'xxx')
  {

   sObject newobj = new sObject();
     newobj.Field1 = 'sometext';
     newobj.Field2 = 'sometext';

     // inser newobj.values( );
     insert newobj;
  }

   oldobj.LookupField__c = newobj.Id;
   update oldobj;
