Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

containedProperties

Returns a CHR(3)-delimited list where the first entry is the passed query parameter. The rest of the entries consists of paired objectNames and CHR(4)-delimited properties. For plDeep queries, the ObjectName is colon separated to uniquely identify levels in the tree. The second in each pair is a CHR(4)-separated list of values where each entry corresponds to the Propertlist for that object.

Location: containr.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcQueryProps AS CHARACTER

Comma-separated lists of properties to retrieve from SmartDataObjects (SDOs). You can optionally use paired semicolon lists to query different Object types.

INPUT plDeep AS LOGICAL

Determines the level at which a query should run. If TRUE, continue query in children of children. If FALSE, query only one level down.

Returns: CHARACTER

Examples:

<pcQueryProps>CHR(3)<ObjectName1>CHR(3)<PropAvalue>CHR(4)<PropBvalue>CHR(3)< ObjectName2>CHR(3)<PropAvalue>CHR(4)<PropBvalue>.

Notes:

The FORMAT of the returned string is INTERNAL and intended to be transported as is (across servers) to be passed into assignContainedProperties.
If the ClientNames property is defined, the ObjectName entry in the returned list is replaced with the corresponding entry in the ClientNames list. This information is used to enable communication among clients with different container structures.
