**SetProgressLimits**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **SetProgressLimits **method supplies the upper and lower boundaries of the result set--considering the active sort order, range limits, and filters--to the StepClass object that monitors the progress of the process.

The Init method specifies the StepClass object.

**Member of: [[processclass methods.htm|ProcessClass]]**

**Implementation:**

The SetProgressLimits method assumes a StepClass object is specified. The Reset method conditionally calls the SetProgessLimits method. The SetProgressLimits method calls the StepClass.SetLimits method.

**Example:**

**MyProcessClass.Reset PROCEDURE       !prepare to process the records**

** CODE**

** SELF.RecordsProcessed = 0           !set RecordsProcessed to 0**

** SELF.SetProgressLimits              !set StepClass boundaries based**

**                                     ! on actual data processed**

** PARENT.Reset                        !call ViewManager.Reset to**

**                                     !position to the first record**
