ORDNAME() function
Return the name of an Order in the Order List
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ORDNAME(<nOrder>[,<cOrderBagName>])
--> cOrderName
Arguments
<nOrder> is an integer that identifies the position in the Order
List of the target Order whose database name is sought.
<cOrderBagName> is the name of a disk file containing one or more
Orders. You may specify <cOrderBagName> as the filename with or without
the pathname or appropriate extension. If you do not include the
extension as part of <xcOrderBagName> CA-Clipper uses the default
extension of the current RDD.
Returns
ORDNAME() returns the name of the specified Order in the current Order
List or the specified Order Bag if opened in the Current Order list.
Description
ORDNAME() is an Order management function that returns the name of the
specified Order in the current Order List.
If <cOrderBagName> is an Order Bag that has been emptied into the
current Order List, only those Orders in the Order List that correspond
to <cOrderBagName> Order Bag are searched.
The active RDD determines the Order capacity of an Order Bag. The
default DBFNTX and the DBFNDX drivers only support single-Order Bags,
while other RDDs may support multiple-Order Bags (e.g., the DBFCDX and
DBPX drivers).
Examples
. This example retrieves the name of an Order using its position
in the order list:
USE Customer NEW
SET INDEX TO CuAcct, CuName, CuZip
ORDNAME( 2 ) // Returns: CuName
. This example retrieves the name of an Order given its position
within a specific Order Bag in the Order List:
USE Customer NEW
SET INDEX TO Temp, Customer
// Assume Customer contains CuAcct, CuName, CuZip
ORDNAME( 2, "Customer" ) // Returns: CuName
Status: New
