entity.getDataClass( )
The entity.getDataClass( ) method returns the dataclass of the entity. This method is useful when writing generic code.
The following generic code duplicates any entity:
//duplicate_entity method
//duplicate_entities($1)
//duplicate_entities(entity)
C_OBJECT($1;$entity;$entityNew;$status)
$entity:=$1 //receive the entity to duplicate in $1
$entityNew:=$entity.getDataClass().new() //create a new entity in the parent dataclass
$entityNew.fromObject($entity.toObject()) //get all attributes
$entityNew[$entity.getDataClass().getInfo().primaryKey]:=Null //reset the primary key
$status:=$entityNew.save() //save the duplicated entity
