Syntax

CALL SEND (object-id, '_gotoAbsoluteRow', abs-row<, rel-row>);

Argument Type Description
abs-row
N specifies the absolute row number to be read. If the abs-row value is greater than the number of rows in the table, the last row in the table becomes the current row.
rel-row
N returns the relative row number for the row that is now current.


Details

If you modify the current row in the table, you must use the _updateRow method before calling the _gotoAbsoluteRow method.

The _gotoAbsoluteRow method returns an error when the access engine used to read the table does not support access by absolute row number or when a permanent or temporary WHERE clause is in effect.

The _gotoAbsoluteRow method uses the last Data Set Data Vector. You cannot call the _gotoAbsoluteRow method until you pass a Data Set Data Vector instance to another method of this object, such as the _getRow method.

The _gotoAbsoluteRow method sets SYSRC for error, note, and warning conditions.
