Code field management for MasterData UDO

Question

I have created a MasterData object and I want to set the AutoManaged property of my form to true in order to get values from my bounded controls to the database automatically. The problem is the Code field  - i don't want it on the form, but adding values for the object doesn't work without it.
Is there a way to have Sap manage the Code on its own like the ManagedSeries for Document UDO?

Hi Tibi,
Is there a way to have Sap manage the Code on its own like the ManagedSeries for Document UDO?
No. You have to manage the code yourself.
My approach is to have the Code field hidden in the form and bounded to the DataBase code field. Then, in the ItemPressed event, when pVal.BeforeAction = True and pVal.ItemUID = "1" and oForm.Mode = ADD_MODE, I generate the next record code and I put it in the DBDataSource.
function to generate the next record code
    Private Function GetNextViaturaCode(ByRef oCompany As SAPbobsCOM.Company, ByRef oApplication As SAPbouiCOM.Application) As String
        GetNextViaturaCode = "1"
        Dim oRs As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
        Try
            oRs.DoQuery("IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[@ADAT_VIATURA] T0) = 0 SELECT '1' AS 'Próximo Código de Viatura' ELSE SELECT MAX(CONVERT(INT, T0.Code)) + 1 AS 'Próximo Código de Viatura' FROM [dbo].[@ADAT_VIATURA] T0")
            If oRs.RecordCount > 0 Then GetNextViaturaCode = oRs.Fields.Item(0).Value
        Catch ex As Exception
            oApplication.MessageBox("GetNextViaturaCode(): " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & ex.ToString)
        Finally
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oRs)
            oRs = Nothing
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
    End Function
