set_count()

Defines the number of rows containing explicit data in a static array used by the next dialog.

Syntax

set_count(
   nbrows INTEGER )

nbrows defines the number of explicit rows in the static array.

Usage

When using a static array in an INPUT ARRAY (with WITHOUT DEFAULTS clause) or a DISPLAY ARRAY statement, you must specify the number of rows in the array which contain explicit data. In typical applications, these array elements contain the values fetched from a SELECT statement.

set_count() must be called before a DISPLAY ARRAY or INPUT ARRAY statement.

The number of rows can also specified with the COUNT attribute of INPUT ARRAY and DISPLAY ARRAY statements.

When using a dynamic array, the number of rows is implicitly defined by the array.
