Information about Recordset (Recordset class)

ToString returns to a lonstring the contents of the Recordset object.

Syntax

%string = recordset:ToString[( [MaxRecords= number])]

Syntax terms

MaxRecords	This NameRequired argument is a numeric value that specifies an upper limit on the number of records to be included in the returned data. MaxRecords is an optional argument that defaults to ??.

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 %recset

  is equivalent to:

  print %recset:ToString

Examples

The following record display is produced by a print %recset statement. The output line wrapping is altered for display purposes.
