- entId
- Required. Holds the identifier of the entity with which the file is associated.
- filePath
- Required. Holds the path and file name of the file.
- fileDesc
- Optional. Holds the description of the file.
- fileType
- Optional. This parameter is ignored. The file_type column in the Ent_File table is obsolete. For the file_type column in EntFile.GetAll() returned datasets, the file extension from the filename in the file_path column will be returned.
- lastModified
- Optional. Holds the date/time of the last time the file was modified.
- fileSize
- Optional. Holds the size of the file in bytes.
- author
- Optional. Holds the name of the author of the file.
- spare1
- Optional. Holds user-defined content for the spare1 field. Defaults to null.
- spare2
- Optional. Holds user-defined content for the spare2 field. Defaults to null.
- spare3
- Optional. Holds user-defined content for the spare3 field. Defaults to null.
- spare4
- Optional. Holds user-defined content for the spare4 field. Defaults to null.
- lastEditComment
- Optional. Holds comments about why this record is being updated.
- lastEditAt
Optional. Holds the date/time when this record was added or last edited, for optimistic concurrency control. If it is specified, the passed value must match the lastEditAt value in the record for the update to succeed.
Output. Holds the date/time value when this record was updated by this called method.
Observe the following input parameter rules:
- Optional non-DB* parameters: Either enter a new value or leave the existing value unchanged by passing a null.
- Optional DB* parameters: To clear the existing value and enter an empty value, pass DB*.null (e.g., DBInt.null). To leave the existing value unchanged, pass a null.
