RECID attribute

The unique internal identifier of the database record currently associated with the buffer.
Data type: RECID
Access: Read-only
Applies to: Buffer object handle
Note: ABL provides the RECID attribute (and the corresponding RECID function) for backward compatibility only. Progress Software Corporation recommends that in new code, you use the ROWID attribute.
Note: You cannot use a RECID to identify the partition of a record in a partitioned table. Using a stored RECID to retrieve a record in a partitioned table will not work unless the record is in the initial composite partition. Use ROWID instead.
