RemoveRecord (Recordset subroutine)

<section begin=dpl_desc/><section end=dpl_desc/>

RemoveRecord is a member of the Recordset class.

RemoveRecord removes the record in a Record object from the records in an existing Recordset object. It provides functionality identical to the User Language Remove Record statement, but it does so for Recordset objects.

Syntax

%target:RemoveRecord(recordObject)

Syntax terms

%target	A non-null Recordset object variable.
recordObject	A non-null Record object, which must have the same file context as %target.

Usage Notes

• Since RemoveRecord never adds a record to a Recordset, there are no lock strength requirements for the method object or the input object.
• If the Record object argument of RemoveRecord is null, the request is cancelled.

Example

In the following example, records not meeting a certain criterion are removed from a Recordset:

%mailList is object recordSet in file customers find records to %mailList status = 'ACTIVE' end find for each record in %mailList if totalPurchase lt 100 then %mailList:removeRecord(currentRecord) end if end find

With version 6.8 of Sirius Mods and earlier, you must specify the class name or an object variable before the CurrentRecord method name; for example:

%mailList:removeRecord( -  %(Record in File customers):currentRecord)
