Property Value

Type: Usual
The "scope" component of the "general server scope," which affects several bulk processing methods if they are called with no explicit scope. The initial value of the scope is NIL.

Remarks

The following constants represent the range of records to process, providing the same functionality as the ALL, REST and NEXT clauses of record processing commands:

Constant	Description
DBSCOPEALL	The scope is all the records in the table. This is the default, although if a WHILE condition is specified, the scope becomes DBSCOPEREST.
DBSCOPEREST	The scope is the remaining records in the table from the current position.

Examples

This example illustrates how various Scope values affect the extent of a recall operation:

Copy

1// RECALL FOR Last == "Smith" REST
2oDB:ForBlock := {|| Last == "Smith"}
3oDB:Scope := DBSCOPEREST
4oDB:Recall()
5// RECALL WHILE Last == "Smith" NEXT 10
6oDB:WhileBlock := {|| Last == "Smith"}
7oDB:Scope := 10
8oDB:Recall()
