Handle Attributes and Methods Reference : AUTO-DELETE attribute
 

AUTO-DELETE attribute

Specifies whether a dynamic buffer and temp-table object associated with a ProDataSet object is automatically deleted when the ProDataSet object is deleted. Dynamic buffer and temp-table objects associated with a ProDataSet object are deleted when the ProDataSet object is deleted, by default.
Set this attribute to FALSE to prevent a dynamic buffer and temp-table from being automatically deleted when the associated ProDataSet object is deleted. The default value is TRUE.
Data type: LOGICAL
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: Buffer object handle
Note: If the buffer is not dynamic and is not associated with a ProDataSet, then AUTO-DELETE returns the Unknown value (?).
