**Next( ), BYTE, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **Next **method gets the next record from the browse view and returns a value indicating its success or failure.

Next returns Level:Benign if successful, Level:Notify if it reached the end of the file, and Level:Fatal if it encountered a fatal error.

**Implementation:**

Corresponding return value EQUATEs are declared in ABERROR.INC. See //Error Class// for more information on these severity level EQUATEs.

**Level:Benign                  EQUATE(0)**

**Level:User                    EQUATE(1)**

**Level:Program                 EQUATE(2)**

**Level:Fatal                   EQUATE(3)**

**Level:Cancel                  EQUATE(4)**

**Level:Notify                  EQUATE(5)**

The Next method is called by the Fetch and ResetThumbLimits(PRIVATE) methods. Among other things, Next calls the PARENT.Next (ViewManager.Next) method. See //ViewManager //for more information.

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE

**Example:**

** CASE MyBrowse.Next()              !get next record**

** OF Level:Benign                   !if successful, continue**

** OF Level:Fatal                    !if fatal error**

**  RETURN                           ! end this procedure**

** OF Level:Notify                   !if end of file reached**
