 SET SCOPEBOTTOM
 Change the bottom boundary for scoping key values in the controlling order
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     SET SCOPEBOTTOM TO [<expNewBottom>]

 Arguments

     <expNewBottom> is the bottom range of key values that will be
     included in the controlling order's current scope.  <expNewBottom> can
     be an expression that matches the data type of the key expression in the
     controlling order or a code block that returns the correct data type.

 Description

     SET SCOPEBOTTOM, when used with the <expNewBottom> argument, is
     functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(1, <expNewBottom>).  SET
     SCOPEBOTTOM, when used with no argument, is functionally equivalent to
     ORDSCOPE(1, NIL).  Refer to the ORDSCOPE() function for more
     information.

 Examples

     .  The following example illustrates the SET SCOPEBOTTOM command:

        USE Inventor NEW
        INDEX ON PartNo TO Parts

        SET SCOPEBOTTOM TO 1000
        // Only part numbers less than or equal to 1000
        // will be used.
