Previous (RecordsetCursor function)

Move cursor to the previous record in the set (RecordsetCursor class)

This callable method positions the cursor on the “previous” record in the set, and it returns a CursorState enumeration indicating the state of the cursor after the operation.

Syntax

[%cursorState =] recordsetCursor:Previous

Syntax terms

%cstate	If specified, a declared enumeration object of type CursorState to contain the state of the cursor after the completion of Previous. Valid values are described in "Cursor state".
%rscursor	An instantiated RecordsetCursor object.

Usage notes

• Previous may be issued if the cursor is in one of two states:
  • HasRecord — Advances to the previous record (if there is one).
  • AfterEnd — Advances to the last record.
• If Previous is called on a cursor whose state is BeforeStart, the request is cancelled.
• After issuing Previous, the cursor is left in one of two states:
  • HasRecord — The cursor moved to a new record, and it is ready to go.
  • BeforeStart — The cursor ran off the beginning, and it points to no record.
