ToString (Recordset function)
Information about Recordset (Recordset class)
ToString returns a longstring that has the count, lock strength, file, and record numbers for the Recordset object.
Syntax
%string = recordset:ToString[( [MaxRecords= number])]
Syntax terms
| %string | A longstring variable to receive the contents of the Recordset. |
|---|---|
| recordset | A Recordset object variable. |
| MaxRecords | This name required 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.
LockStrength=Share, Count=5, Records=(MYFILE: 0,1,2,3,4)
