SET SCOPETOP

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

Syntax

      SET SCOPETOP TO [<expNewTop>]

Arguments

<expNewTop> is the top range of key values that will be included in the controlling order’s current scope. <expNewTop> 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 SCOPETOP, when used with the <expNewTop> argument, is functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(0, <expNewTop>). SET SCOPETOP, when used with no argument, is functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(0, NIL). Refer to the ORDSCOPE() function for more information.

Examples

      .  The following example illustrates the SET SCOPETOP command:

      USE Inventor NEW
      INDEX ON PartNo TO Parts

      SET SCOPETOP TO 1000
      // Only part numbers greater than or equal to 1000
      // will be used.
