Purpose
This method allows you to specify the seek expression for any section of a report.
Syntax
<oReport>:SetSeekExpression(cExpression, [nSection]) logic
Arguments
cExpression | The new seek expression for the specified section. |
nSection | Optional section number. The default is the first section after the optional title section. |
Description
To set the seek expression of a rpRDDTable object. 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 primary table in the section. After the seek is performed, reporting starts. The assigned value must be a valid expression or an empty string ("") to clear the seek expression.
If you use fields in the expression, it is necessary to call RpReport:Connect2Source() prior to setting the seek expression.
Example
// Set the seek expression in section 2
oReport:SetSeekExpression("1", 2)
