DATA-SOURCE-ROWID attribute

Identifies the data-source row corresponding to the buffer object handle.
Data type: ROWID
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: Buffer object handle
This attribute locates the data-source row corresponding to either an after-table buffer or a before-table buffer. The portion of the SAVE-ROW-CHANGES( ) method that locates the appropriate data-source row is used to produce a ROWID for users who want to either make their own version of SAVE-ROW-CHANGES( ) or access the source record in some way before or after SAVE-ROW-CHANGES( ).

Syntax

DATA-SOURCE-ROWID ( {join-level | buffer-name} )
join-level
An integer expression that evaluates to the level of join, if the data-source is a join.
buffer-name
A character expression that evaluates to the name of one of the data-source buffers.
