I have to get IDs of Call custom object from Incident Transaction custom object and run a for loop on call feeding the list. Can someone help me here?

   List<SObject> myCalls = [SELECT Call_abv__c FROM Incident_Transaction_abv__c];

   List<Call2_vod__c> Call= new List<Call2_vod__c>();

    for(Call2_vod__c cl:myCalls)
    {   

    }

Getting below error:

Compile Error: Loop variable must be of type SObject at line

  • why don't you use List of type Incident_Transaction_abv__c for the query result?

    Your loop variable cl is of type Call2_vod__c while the structure myCalls is of type SObject. Your question is a bit unclear, though.

  • I have to fetch Call IDs from Incident transaction then do some update operation on the calls. @Mahmood Dec 9, 2014 at 10:45
  • @highfive The result would be same. Dec 9, 2014 at 10:45

    You're looping Incident_Transaction_abv__c records with Call2_vod__c object! What are you trying to do?

You need to typecast List of SObjects to List of relevant object. So your code should look like -

   List<SObject> myCalls = [SELECT Call_abv__c FROM Incident_Transaction_abv__c];
   List <Incident_Transaction_abv__c> myCallsInc = (List <Incident_Transaction_abv__c>) myCalls;
   List<Call2_vod__c> Call= new List<Call2_vod__c>();
   for(Incident_Transaction_abv__c ita : myCallsInc )
    {   

    }

  • Thanks Amit! I was failing here. But update needs to be done on Calls. I need for loop for calls. Dec 9, 2014 at 10:53

myCalls is of type List<Incident_Transaction_abv__c>. You can't iterate over a more specific type than a less specific type without casting. You need to make the loop variable type and the list type agree with each other.
