Purpose

Creates an object of the class bArrayServer.

Class

Type

Method

Syntax

bArrayServer{

<auStruct>,

[<auData>],

[<iDeletedScope>],

[iDataFormat]

} Æ oArrayServer

Arguments

A two-dimensional array that defines the field structure of the server. The first dimension of the array defines the fields. The second dimension defines the structure of each field.

The second dimension consists of five elements that are described in the following table:

Constant	Data type	Description
DBS_NAME	String	Name of field.
DBS_TYPE	String	Data type of field.
DBS_LEN	Integer	Length of field, including the decimal point and the decimal places.
DBS_DEC	Integer	Number of decimals.
DBS_ALIAS	String	Alias of field.

Data type:

Array

A two-dimensional array that contains the records of the server. The array has the format { {aRecord1}, {aRecord2},…{aRecordn} } where aRecordn is an array of field values {field1, field2, ….fieldn} . See the example below. If the argument is not supplied, the data server has no records. Use the property bArrayServer:Data to access individual data fields. This is done by specifying the record number and field number. ie:

auData[<Record>] [<Field>] or

auData[<Record>, <Field>]

Data type:

Array

A numeric value that indicates how deleted records are to be treated. The following values are supported:

Constant	Description
BINACTIVE	Deleted records are hidden.
BACTIVE	Deleted records are visible.
BAUTO	The setting of the function SetDeleted() is used.

If the argument is not specified, the value BAUTO is used.

Data type:

Integer

A numeric value that indicates in which format the data in the data server is saved. The following values are supported:

Constant

Description

BDATAFORMAT_DBASE

DBase (Strings are filled up with blanks).

Note!
This value must be used, if in bArrayServer orders are created.

BDATAFORMAT_NORMAL

Normal (Strings are not filled up).

If the argument is not specified, the value BDATAFORMAT_NORMAL is used.

Data type:

Integer

Return Value

oArrayServer

The created object of the class bArrayServer.

Data type:

bArrayServer

Description

bArrayServer:Init() creates an object of class bArrayServer and initializes it.

Samples

The following sample creates an object of the class bArrayServer with the four fields ID, LASTNAME, FIRST NAME and AGE.

// define structure-array

auStruct := {;

{"ID", "C", 5, 0},;

{"LASTNAME", "C", 20, 0},;

{"FIRSTNAME", "C", 15, 0},;

{"AGE", "N", 3, 0};

}

// define data-array

auData := {;

{"00001", "Schmidt", "Harald", 41},;

{"00007", "Bond", "James", 37};

}

// create bArrayServer

oasServer := bArrayServer{auStruct, auData, BINACTIVE}
