table.FETCH_EOF Function
Syntax
EOF_Found_Flag as L = Fetch_Eof()
Description
The <TBL>.FETCH_EOF() method returns TRUE (.T.) if the most recent fetch in the table or set referenced by the <TBL> object pointer has tried to read past the end of the file, creating an end of file condition. The meaning of end of file differs depending on how the records are currently arranged through the primary index, active range, or current query list. The end of file condition occurs when trying to read beyond the first or last physical record (in record number order), or beyond the first or last record in the current ordering and selection of records.
Example
This script stores up to 1000 customer names in an array.
dim tbl as P dim rec_num as N dim i as N tbl = table.current() 'Get number of records in table rec_num = tbl.records_get() if rec_num > 1000 then rec_num = 1000 end if dim names[rec_num] as C i = 1 tbl.fetch_first() while .NOT. tbl.fetch_EOF() Names[I] = tbl.last_name i = i + 1 tbl.fetch_next() end while
A more efficient method for moving records into an array is <TBL>.POPULATE_GRID().
