GetRowset function

Syntax

GetRowset([SCROLL.scrollname])

Description

Use the GetRowset function to get a rowset object based on the current context. That is, the rowset is determined from the row containing the program that is running.

Parameters

If a parameter is specified, it must be the name of the primary record for the scroll that is a child of the current context.

Returns

With no parameters, GetRowset returns a rowset object for the rowset containing the currently running program. If a parameter is specified, it returns a rowset for that child scroll. scrollname must be the name of the primary record for the scroll.

Example

In the following example, RS1 is a level 1 rowset, and RS2 is a child rowset of RS1.

Local Rowset &RS1, &RS2;

&RS1 = GetRowset(); 
&RS2 = GetRowset(SCROLL.EMPL_CHKLST_ITM);

Syntax Format Considerations

An expression of the form

RECORD.scrollname.property

or

RECORD.scrollname.method(. . .)

is converted to an object expression by using GetRowset(SCROLL. scrollname).
