Syntax

REPOSITION-TO-ROWID ( { rowid1 [ , rowid2 ] ... | rowid-array } )

rowid1 [ , rowid2 ] ...

Expressions of type ROWID representing the rowid of the first buffer, the rowid of the second buffer, etc. The maximum number of expressions is 18. If an expression contains the Unknown value (?), Progress evaluates but ignores subsequent expressions.

rowid-array

An array of 18 or fewer elements, where each element is of type ROWID and represents the rowid of a buffer. If an element contains the Unknown value (?), Progress evaluates but ignores subsequent elements.

Note: The REPOSITION-TO-ROWID method corresponds to the REPOSITION statement TO ROWID option.
