ToString (Record function)

Information about Record (Record class)

ToString returns information (file name, record number, lock strength) about the Record object to a longstring.

Syntax

%string = record:ToString

Syntax terms

%string	A longstring variable to receive the contents of the Record.
record	A Record object variable.

Usage notes

• ToString can be applied implicitly: simply Print (or Audit) an object variable, and the ToString method is automatically applied to the object. That is:

  print %rec

  is equivalent to:

  print %rec:ToString

Examples

The following record display is produced by a print %rec statement.

Filename=MYPROC, RecordNumber=212121, LockStrength=Share
