Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ProDataSets

Dynamic ProDataSet Basics

Like other Progress objects, ProDataSets can be either static or dynamic. You define a static ProDataSet and its related objects, such as Data-Sources, using the statements you learned earlier. In this chapter, you will learn how to create a dynamic ProDataSet, add buffers dynamically, add Data-Relations dynamically, and create dynamic Data-Sources.

You can also access a ProDataSet, Data-Relation, or Data-Source through its object handle. Whether the ProDataSet is static or dynamic, you can execute methods, set object attributes, and get object attributes through the handle, as described in the following sections:

Creating a dynamic ProDataSet
Deleting a dynamic ProDataSet
Specifying member buffers
Creating Data-Relation objects
Creating a dynamic Data-Source
Duplicating ProDataSets with the CREATE-LIKE method
Sample procedure: creating a dynamic ProDataSet
