Setting UD Table Key using C# Expression failed on Convert.ToInt32

Epicor ERP 10

I am using UD03, I have created a dashboard for people to create new entry for UD03.

When user create a new entry on UD03, I want Key2 to auto assign to the maximum value of Key2 + 1 with the matching Key1 value.

For example, if the data in UD03 is as follows. If I create a new entry when Key1 = 1000, Key2 should automatically assign to 4.

|Key1|Key2|
|1000| 1|
|1000| 2|
|1000| 3|
|1200| 1|
|1200| 2|
|1300| 7|
|1300| 8|

I have created a BPM on Pre processing update where Key2 is empty, it will assign Key 2 using this Expression

((from ud03Row in Db.UD03
where ud03Row.Key1 == ttResultsRow.UD03_Key1; ud03Row.Key2 != "";
select Convert.ToInt32(ud03Row.Key2)).Max()+1).ToString()

It looks to me that as soon as I put the Convert.ToInt32 into the expression, the code will not execute…

If I remove the Convert.ToInt32, the expressiong works fine.

I ran the code on LinqPad 5 with Convert.ToInt32 and works fine…

Tried debugging and I couldn’t get any exception…

Version is Epicor 10…2.200.4

Try not casting inside your linq query. Assign and do all that before it you can.

To cast in EF6 you can use

Erp.ErpEFFunctions.ConvertToInt(s.Key1)

To expand on Haso’s remark: you can use these two directives:
-replicate Key2 to Number02 using a directive on record add.
-On get new record, assign Key2 from Max(number02 + 1).ToString()
