**Reset(**// //[// number //]// //**), VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **Reset** | Resets the VIEW position. |
| //number// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that specifies the start position based on the contents of the first //number //components of the applicable ORDER attribute. If omitted, Reset positions the VIEW to the first element in theVIEW's result set. |

The **Reset **method resets the VIEW position to the beginning of the result set specified by the VIEW's applied sort order, range limit and filter. The //number //parameter further refines the position by considering the //contents //of the first //number //expressions in the active sort order.

For example, consider a VIEW sorted by Customer where Customer's value is ten(10). If //number //is omitted, Reset positions to the element with the lowest Customer value, regardless of Customer's value. However, if //number //is one (1), Reset positions to the first element with a Customer value of ten (10).

**Implementation:**

The Reset method calls the Open method and [[set  initiate sequential file processing .htm|SET]] s the managed VIEW. See the //Language Reference// for more information.

**Example:**

** View:Customer.Init(Customer:View,Relate:CUSTOMER) !initialize View:Customer object**

** View:Customer.AddSortOrder( CUS:BYNUMBER )        !add sort BYNUMBER**

** View:Customer.AddRange(CUS:CUSTNO,Low,High)       !add a range limit**

** View:Customer.SetFilter( 'CUS:ZIP=33064','1')     !add filter #1**

** Relate:CUSTOMER.Open                              !open customer & related files**

** View:Customer.Reset                               !open view, apply range & filter**

** IF View:Customer.Next()                           !get first view record**

**  HALT                                             !if no records, stop**

** END**
