New (SortedRecordset constructor)

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

New is a member of the SortedRecordset class.

This shared function instantiates an empty instance of a SortedRecordset object.

Available as of Sirius Mods version 7.6, the New method is an alternative to using a Sort statement factory constructor, as described in "Declaration and instantiation".

Syntax

%srecs = [class:]New

Syntax terms

%srecs	A declared SortedRecordset object including its file/group context.
class	Either a parenthesized class name, as in %(SortedRecordset in file foo), or a non-parenthesized variable in the class, as in %srecs.

Usage Notes

• If you are creating an extension class of the SortedRecordset class, you can use New in the Construct statement in the extension class:

  class sordidSet extends sortedRecordset in sordid inherit ... constructor new construct %(sortedRecordset in sordid):new ... end constructor ... end class

  The Sort statement constructors cannot be used for this purpose.

Example

• The New constructor has no parameters and simply instantiates an empty instance of its class:

  %srs is object SortedRecordset in sordid ... %srs = new
