| [[Category:Recordset methods|DeepCopy function]]
| |
| <p>
| |
| <var>DeepCopy</var> is a member of the <var>[[Recordset class|Recordset]]</var> class.
| |
| </p>
| |
| | |
| <var>DeepCopy</var> is a function that returns an exact copy of the method <var>Recordset</var> object. It is identical to the <var>Recordset</var> <var>[[Copy (Recordset function)|Copy]]</var> method. <var>Recordset</var> objects are always copyable and "deep-copyable" (as these terms are described in [[Copying objects#The Object class copy methods|"The Object class copy methods"]]).
| |
| | |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| <p class="syntax">%newSet = %recSet:DeepCopy([lockstrength] -
| |
| [, LoopLockStrength=lockstrength] )
| |
| </p>
| |
| ===Syntax Terms===
| |
| <table class="syntaxTable">
| |
| <tr><th>%newSet</th>
| |
| <td>A <var>Recordset</var> object created by this method that contains a copy of the method object.
| |
| </td></tr>
| |
| <tr><th>%recSet</th>
| |
| <td>A <var>Recordset</var> object variable. The variable can be null, in which case the output object will also be null.
| |
| </td></tr>
| |
| <tr><th>lockstrength</th>
| |
| <td>A value of the <var>LockStrength</var> enumeration that is the lock strength to give to the instantiated <var>Recordset</var> object. Options are: <var>None</var>, <var>Share</var>, or <var>Exclusive</var>, as described in [[New (Recordset constructor)|"New (Recordset constructor)"]]. This is an optional parameter, and it defaults to the lock strength of the method object. Specifying a stronger <var>LockStrength</var> than the method object's lock strength is invalid and results in request cancellation.
| |
| </td></tr>
| |
| <tr><th>LoopLockStrength</th>
| |
| <td>The lock strength to be used for loops on the copied <var>Recordset</var>. This is an optional, [[Notation conventions for methods#Named parameters|name required]], parameter, and it defaults to the <var>LoopLockStrength</var> of the method object <var>Recordset</var>. This parameter is only available in <var class="product">Sirius Mods</var> 7.0 and later. See [[Recordset class#LoopLockStrength for Recordsets|"LoopLockStrength for Recordsets"]].

| |
| ==Usage Notes==
| |
| <ul>
| |
| <li>You can only create a copy of lock strength less than
| |
| or equal to the original, so <var>Copy</var> needs to acquire no locks
| |
| that the user does not already hold.
| |
| Therefore, <var>Copy</var> cannot produce a record locking conflict.
| |
| <li>Specifying a lock strength greater than the lock strength of the method
| |
| object is a request-cancelling error.
| |
| </ul>
| |
| ==Example==
| |
| | |
| In the following example, a base record set is created, copied, then added to:
| |
| <p class="code"> begin
| |
| %baseStooges is object recordset in file glwproc
| |
| %copyStooges is object recordset in file glwproc
| |
| %curleyStooge is object recordset in file glwproc
| |
| | |
| fd to %baseStooges name = 'MOE' or name = 'LARRY'
| |
| end find
| |
| text
| |
| ------
| |
| The names of the %baseStooges are:
| |
| end text
| |
| fr in %baseStooges
| |
| text
| |
| {name}
| |
| end text
| |
| end for
| |
| | |
| %copyStooges = %baseStooges:copy
| |
| fd to %curleyStooge with name = 'CURLEY'
| |
| end find
| |
| %copyStooges:addRecordset( %curleyStooge )
| |
| text
| |
| ------
| |
| The names of the {%copyStooges:Count} %copyStooges are:
| |
| end text
| |
| fr in %copyStooges
| |
| text
| |
| {name}
| |
| end text
| |
| end for
| |
| end
| |
| </p>
| |
| | |
| The example results follow:
| |
| <p class="output"> ------
| |
| The names of the %baseStooges are:
| |
| MOE
| |
| LARRY
| |
| ------
| |
| The names of the 3 %copyStooges are:
| |
| MOE
| |
| LARRY
| |
| CURLEY
