TO-ROWID Function
Converts a string representation of a ROWID to a valid ROWID value.
SYNTAX
rowid-string
A string representation of a ROWID. Since ROWID values are a variable sequence of hexadecimal digits, rowid-string must be in the form "0xhex-digits", where hex-digits is any string of characters from 0 through 9 and A through F.
EXAMPLESThe following procedure (
r-torwid.p
) selects customer balance and credit information and displays it in a browse. You can select any number of rows to store and display more information on the selected customers.
Thus, when you choose the bstore button,
r-torwid.p
stores the ROWID string values of all selected customer records in a temporary table. When you choose the bdisplay button, it displays the selected customer phone information in a down frame by converting each stored ROWID string to a ROWID value and finding the corresponding customer record. (The example also allows you to add selections and restart by deleting the existing selections.)NOTE
Although TO-ROWID converts a properly formatted string to a ROWID value, there is no guarantee that this value corresponds to an existing record in your database.
