SET DELETED Toggle filtering of deleted records ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax SET DELETED on | OFF | <xlToggle> Arguments ON ignores deleted records. OFF processes deleted records. <xlToggle> is a logical expression that must be enclosed in parentheses. A value of true (.T.) is the same as ON, and a value of false (.F.) is the same as OFF. Description SET DELETED toggles automatic filtering of records marked for deletion in all work areas. When SET DELETED is ON, most commands ignore deleted records. If, however, you refer to a record by record number (GOTO or any command that supports the RECORD scope), the record is not ignored even if marked for deletion. Additionally, SET DELETED ON has no affect on INDEX or REINDEXing. RECALL ALL honors SET DELETED and does not recall any records. Notes . Filtering deleted records in a single work area: To confine the filtering of deleted records to a particular work area, SELECT the work area, and then SET FILTER TO DELETED(). Examples . This example illustrates the effect of using SET DELETED: USE Sales NEW ? LASTREC() // Result: 84 // DELETE RECORD 4 COUNT TO nCount ? nCount // Result: 84 // SET DELETED ON COUNT TO nCount ? nCount // Result: 83 Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
