- Link between xBase files
- Limitations
HDBOpen (Function) In french: HDBOuvre
  Available only with these kinds of connection
Opens the xBase data file and the "memo" file if it exists. HDBOpen("ORDERS", "OR", "C:\FILE\ORDERS.DBF")
HDBIndex("ORDERS", "C:\FILE\ORDERS.NTX", "OrdNum")
HDBOpen("PRODUCT", "PR", "C:\FILE\PRODUCT.DBF")
HDBIndex("PRODUCT", "C:\FILE\PRODUCT.NTX", "ProdNum")
// Display the characteristics of the order
HReadFirst("ORDERS", "OrdNum")
IF HOut() = False THEN
HReadSeek("PRODUCT", "ProdNum", CO.PRODNUM)
FileToScreen()
ELSE
Error("Empty file")
END
Syntax
<Result> = HDBOpen(<Logical name of xBase file> , <Abbreviation of xBase file> , <Full name of xBase file>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the operation was performed,
- False if a problem occurs. HError is used to identify the error.
<Logical name of xBase file>: Character string Logical name given to the xBase file. This name will be used to handle the xBase file by programming. <Abbreviation of xBase file>: Character string Prefix (2 characters) used through programming to identify a file item. For example, if the prefix of "Customer" file is CU, the syntax for using the "Name" item of this file is CU.NAME.
Caution: Multiple data files opened with HDBOpen cannot have the same abbreviation, even if the files have been closed. <Full name of xBase file>: Character string Path and full name of xBase file to open (with the extension). Remarks Link between xBase files The links between xBase files are not automatically managed. Therefore, you must write the "link" code to access a record in a linked file. The record in the linked file must be read whenever the file is read: // Read the file
IF HOut() = False THEN
HReadSeek(FileName, KeyName, Key_Value)
END
