return from void functions

807601Apr 16 2008 — edited Apr 16 2008
I have a small question. Is it good practice to write a return statement at the end of a void function? Does it do something beneficial like freeing memory, or it doesn't matter at all? Thank you.

I have a form region in my application
There is a whole application in your workspace. Where is the problem?

The form is on page 3 called Audit. You can get there by clicking on the links on the report page to populate existing records which is how the end users will end up doing it.

If you run your page in debug mode you see weird things happening. Always run in debug mode if you don't know what is happening!
As far as I could see you had both a Submit default action and a Click DA on your Save button. I removed the DA, and now it works.

You are awesome. Thank you. It is odd that having a DA causes it to fail, but I can worry about that some other time. Thanks again.

Not at all. Your button has the Submit action, and your DA had it too too. That caused a double submit, as you can see in the debug log if you put that DA back. That totally f*ed up the whole process. Debugging is the most important tool a developer can have!
