Understanding Standalone Rowsets

Standalone rowsets are not associated with a component or page. Use them to work on data that is not associated with a component or page buffer. In earlier releases, this was done using derived work records. You still must build work pages.

Note:

Standalone rowsets are not connected to the Component Processor, so there are no database updates when they are manipulated. Delete and insert actions on these types of rowsets are not automatically applied at save time.

As with any PeopleTools object, the scope of standalone rowsets can be Local, Global, or Component. Consider the following code:

Local Rowset &MYRS; 
&MYRS = CreateRowset(RECORD.SOMEREC);

This code creates a rowset with SOMEREC as the level zero record. The rowset is unpopulated. Functionally, it is the same as an array of rows.
