SET SCOPEBOTTOM

Change the bottom boundary for scoping key values in the controlling order

Syntax

      SET SCOPEBOTTOM TO [<expNewBottom>]

Arguments

<expNewBottom> is the bottom range of key values that will be included in the controlling order’s current scope. <expNewBottom> can be an expression that matches the data type of the key expression in the controlling order or a code block that returns the correct data type.

Description

SET SCOPEBOTTOM, when used with the <expNewBottom> argument, is functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(1, <expNewBottom>). SET SCOPEBOTTOM, when used with no argument, is functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(1, NIL). Refer to the ORDSCOPE() function for more information.

Examples

      .  The following example illustrates the SET SCOPEBOTTOM command:

         USE Inventor NEW
         INDEX ON PartNo TO Parts
         SET SCOPEBOTTOM TO 1000
         // Only part numbers less than or equal to 1000
         // will be used.
