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)
