Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

rowidWhere

Returns the ROWID (converted to a character string) of the first database query row satisfying the where clause. In the case of a join, only the rowid of the first table in the join is returned and the expression in pcWhere can only reference that table.

Location: query.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcWhere AS CHARACTER

The where clause to apply to the database query to fetch the first record whose ROWID is to be returned.

Returns: CHARACTER

Notes: The ROWID is returned as a string both in anticipation of it being used as an argument to fetchRowIdent, and also to allow this function to be invoked from outside the OpenEdge environment.
