*page Function

Syntax

Arguments

start_positionNumeric

The starting logical record number (zero based).

page_sizeNumeric

The number of records to fetch.

Description

Used with table.external_record_content_get() to limit the rows of data returned.

Discussion

*page() takes two arguments: starting logical record number (zero based) and 'page' size. It is designed for use in the table.external_record_content_get() function to limit the rows of data that are returned.

Examples:

Return 3 records starting with the first logical record (record 0):

?table.external_record_content_get("customer","lastname +  recno()","","*page(0,3)")
= Graham 1
Peabody 2
Rebo 3

Returns 4 records starting with the 8th logical record:

?table.external_record_content_get("customer","lastname +  recno()","","*page(7,4)")
= Cario 8
McMiggan 9
Dubi 10
Winka  11

This example is more complex. It returns the data in the JavaScript JSON notation for use in a Web application:

dim fl as c 
fl =  comma_to_crlf("firstname,lastname,firstname-' '+lastname as fullname")
ce =  "*json_record(" + s_quote(fl)+  ")"
?table.external_record_content_get("customer",ce,"bill_state_region","  bill_state_region='ca'.and.*page(0,5)")
= {firstname : 'Willy' , lastname :  'Winka' , fullname : 'Willy Winka'},
{firstname : 'Yvonne' , lastname :  'Harrington' , fullname : 'Yvonne Harrington'},
{firstname : 'Joan' ,  lastname : 'McAndrews' , fullname : 'Joan McAndrews'},
{firstname : 'Leonard'  , lastname : 'Burtonski' , fullname : 'Leonard Burtonski'},
{firstname :  'Peter' , lastname : 'Harrison' , fullname : 'Peter Harrison'}

Limitations

For use with the table.external_record_content_get() method
