_DBRead( ) API Library Routine

See Also   Example

Moves the current record pointer to the specified record in the specified work area.

Syntax

int _DBRead(int workarea, long record)
int workarea;               /* Work area. */
long record;                  /* Record number. */

Remarks

_DBRead( ) returns 0 if the routine is successful. If the routine fails, _DBRead( ) returns a negative integer whose absolute value is a Visual FoxPro error number.

Specifying 0 for record is equivalent to issuing GO TOP; specifying  – 1 for record is equivalent to issuing GO BOTTOM.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Chapter 28, Accessing the Visual FoxPro API, in the Programmer's Guide.
