FIRST SUBRECORD

version 3

FIRST SUBRECORD (subtable)

FIRST SUBRECORD makes the first subrecord of the current subselection of subtable the current subrecord. All query, selection, and order by commands also set the current subrecord to the first subrecord. If the current subselection is empty, FIRST SUBRECORD has no effect.

The following example concatenates the first and last names in child records stored in a subtable. It copies the names into the array atNames:

      ` Create an array to hold the names 
   ARRAY TEXT (atNames; Records in subselection ([People]Children)) 
   FIRST SUBRECORD ([People]Children)  ` Start at the first subrecord and loop once for each child 
   For ($vlSub; 1; Records in subselection ([People]Children)) 
         atNames{$vlSub} := [People]Children'First Name+" "+ [People]Children'Last Name
      NEXT SUBRECORD ([People]Children) 
   End for

LAST SUBRECORD, NEXT SUBRECORD, PREVIOUS SUBRECORD.
