Syntax

Rem comment

Returns

Usage

Everything from Rem to the end of the line is ignored when the program is executed.

The single quote (') can also be used to initiate a comment.

Example

This program is attached to a button on the Account Form applet that counts the number of corresponding child Contact records.

Sub Button1_Click

   Dim i as Integer
   Dim icount as Integer
   Dim oBC as BusComp

   Rem Test this from the Account Contacts View
   Rem This code presumes that Account is the parent BusComp
   Rem BusObject returns the business object
   Rem associated with a control or applet.

   Rem GetBusComp here returns a reference
   Rem to the BC that is in the UI context.

   set oBC = me.BusObject.GetBusComp("Contact")

   Rem FirstRecord positions you at the
   Rem first record in the business component.
   Rem FirstRecord, NextRecord, and so on, do not return Booleans.
   Rem Siebel VB does not have a Boolean data type.

   i = oBC.FirstRecord Rem Returns 0 if fails, 1 if succeeds
   if i <> 1 then
   

else
      icount = 0
      Rem This is a sample of using a while statement to loop.
      Rem NextRecord returns 1 if it succesfully
      Rem moved to the next record in the BC

      While i = 1
         icount = icount + 1
         i = oBC.NextRecord   Rem Returns 1 if successful
      wend
      oBC.FirstRecord
      end if

End Sub
