CREATE SET
CREATE SET ( {aTable ;} set )
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| aTable | Table | → | Table for which to create a set from the selection, or Default table, if omitted |
| set | Text | → | Name of the new set |
Description
CREATE SET creates a new set, set, for aTable, and places the current selection in set. The current record pointer for the table is saved with set. If set is used with USE SET, the current selection and current record are restored. As with all sets, there is no sorted order; when set is used, the default order is used. If a set with the same name already exists, the existing set is cleared by the new set.
Example
The following example creates a set after doing a search, in order to save the set to disk:
QUERY([People]) // Let the user do a search
CREATE SET([People];"SearchSet") // Create a new set
SAVE SET("SearchSet";"MySearch") // Save the set on disk
