Discussion

The <TBL>.UNDELETE() method undeletes a range of records in a table. The operation is performed on the records in the table pointed to by the object pointer, <TBL>. If Starting_Record and Ending_Record are not supplied, then Alpha Anywhere undeletes all of the records in the table. Note : Records can only be undeleted before the table has been packed.

Example

Type the following in the Interactive window.

t = table.open("Customer")
t.records_get()-> 60
'delete all records
t.delete_range(".T.")
t.records_get()-> 0
'Undelete records 10 through 20
t.undelete(10,20)
t.records_get()-> 11
'Undelete all records
t.undelete()
t.records_get()-> 60
'undelete all records, and mark those that are undeleted
'(assume that 99999999 will be more that total records in table)
t.undelete(1,99999999,.T.)
