A handle to a data-source object. A data-source object supports the automatic filling of a ProDataSet object member table, as well as applying updates back to one or more database tables. There is a distinct data-source object for each member buffer, which allows a single ProDataSet object and a single FILL operation on that object to combine data from multiple databases. A data-source object is defined independently of any ProDataSet object.
A data-source object can be static or dynamic. A static data-source object is one you define at compile time with the
DEFINE DATA-SOURCE statement. A dynamic data-source object is one you create at run time with the
CREATE DATA-SOURCE statement. Use this handle to access the data-source object's attributes and methods.
To associate a query with a dynamic data-source object, use the QUERY attribute. To disassociate the query and data-source object, set the QUERY attribute to the Unknown value (
?).
