_DBRewind( ) API Library Routine Example

The following example calls _DBRewind( ) for the table open in the current work area. This has the same effect as the Visual FoxPro GO TOP command.

Visual FoxPro Code

SET LIBRARY TO DBREWIND
DO CreateTest
GO BOTTOM
? RECNO()
? DBREWIND()    && returns 1
? RECNO()  && yes, we're at record 1

PROCEDURE CreateTest
   CREATE TABLE test (ABC C(20))
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "This is record 1"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "This is record 2"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "This is record 3"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "This is record 4"
   GO TOP
RETURN

C Code

#include <pro_ext.h>

FAR Example(ParamBlk FAR *parm)
{
   _RetInt(_DBRewind(-1), 10);
}
FoxInfo myFoxInfo[] = {
   {"DBREWIND", (FPFI) Example, 0, ""},
};
FoxTable _FoxTable = {
   (FoxTable FAR *) 0, sizeof(myFoxInfo)/sizeof(FoxInfo), myFoxInfo
};
