Purpose

To get/set the table seek expression.  If a seek expression is specified, it is evaluated at the beginning of the report prior to printing.  The value returned from the seek expression is used to perform a soft seek against the index of the table.  After the seek is performed, reporting starts. The assigned value must be a valid expression or an empty string ("") to clear the seek expression.  This access/assign is only valid for the first table in a data source.

Example

// To force an inventory report to start at a

// certain part number

oTable:SeekExpression := " padr('3173081',20) "

 

// Clear the seek expression

oTable:SeekExpression := ""
