Example

HSetPosition(Customer, Name, 500)

Syntax

<Result> = HSetPosition(<Data file> [, <Item>] , <Position> [, <Precision>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the positioning was performed,
False otherwise. HError returns more details about the problem. If no record corresponds, HOut returns True and no record is read.

<Data file>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Name of data file, view or query used.
If this name is not specified, HSetPosition will use the last data file used by the last HFSQL management function (function starting with "H").

<Item>: Optional character string (with or without quotes)

Name of item used.
If this name is not specified, HSetPosition will use the last data file used by the last HFSQL management function (function starting with "H").

<Position>: Integer

Approximate position to fix. This position must be found in the [1;1000] interval.

<Precision>: Optional integer

Defines the precision with which the position is performed. Caution: The higher the precision, the longer it takes to be positioned in the file.
hPrecisionLow Low precision.
hPrecisionMedium
(default value) Medium precision.
hPrecisionHigh High precision.

Remarks

Position in relation to a key item or to a non-key item

For a key item, the position is relative to the order of the record in the index of this item.
For a non-key item, the position is relative to the number of the record in the data file (see HRecNum).

Position in a filtered browse

If a filter with bounds is defined (HFilter without condition string but with lower and upper bounds), the position is relative to the records selected by the filter.

If a condition string is given to HFilter, the position ignores the filter.
