ONE RECORD SELECT

ONE RECORD SELECT {( aTable )}

ParameterTypeDescription
aTableTable→Table in which to reduce the selection to the current record, or Default table, if omitted

Description​

ONE RECORD SELECT reduces the current selection of aTable to the current record. If no current record exists or if the current record is not loaded into memory (special case), ONE RECORD SELECT has no effect.

Note​

This command was useful to “return” a record that had been pushed and popped from the record stack back to the selection while the selection for the table was changed. SET QUERY DESTINATION allows you to make a query without changing the selection or the current record of a table; therefore, you no longer need to push and pop a current record in order to query its table. Consequently, ONE RECORD SELECT is less useful, unless you actually want to reduce the selection of a table to the current record.

Warning: Keep in mind that a record number can be reused if the record is deleted and another record is created (see About Record Numbers).
