**SetLimitNeeded, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **SetLimitNeeded **method returns a value indicating whether the StepClass object's boundaries are static (set at compile time) or dynamic (set at runtime). A return value of one (1) indicates dynamic boundaties that may need to be reset when the monitored result set changes (records are added, deleted, or filtered). A return value of zero (0) indicates the boundaries are fixed at compile time (name or alpha distribution) and are not adjusted when the monitored result set changes.

**Implementation:**

The SetLimitNeeded method is a placeholder method for classes derived from StepClass, such as StepStringClass.

**Return Data Type:     **BYTE
