SET SCOPETOP
Change the top boundary for scoping key values in the controlling order
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SET SCOPETOP TO [<expNewTop>]
Arguments
<expNewTop> is the top range of key values that will be included in
the controlling order's current scope. <expNewTop> 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 SCOPETOP, when used with the <expNewTop> argument, is functionally
equivalent to ORDSCOPE(0, <expNewTop>). SET SCOPETOP, when used with no
argument, is functionally equivalent to ORDSCOPE(0, NIL). Refer to the
ORDSCOPE() function for more information.
Examples
. The following example illustrates the SET SCOPETOP command:
USE Inventor NEW
INDEX ON PartNo TO Parts
SET SCOPETOP TO 1000
// Only part numbers greater than or equal to 1000
// will be used.
