Init( filemanager [,uselogout] )
| Init | Initializes the RelationManager object. |
| filemanager | The label of the FileManager object for the RelationManager's primary file. By definition, the file referenced by this FileManager object is the RelationManager's primary file. |
| uselogout | A numeric constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that determines whether cascaded updates or deletes are done within a transaction frame (LOGOUT/COMMIT). A value of zero (0) indicates no transaction framing; a value of one (1) indicates transaction framing. If omitted, logout defaults to zero (0). |
The Init method initializes the RelationManager object. To implement the RelationManager's transaction framing, all the files within a transaction must use the same file driver and that file driver must support LOGOUT.
Implementation:
The Init method sets the value of the Me and UseLogout properties.
The ABC Templates set the uselogout parameter based on the Enclose RI code in transaction frame check box in the Global Properties dialog.
Example:
PROGRAM
INCLUDE('FILE.INC') !declare RelationManager class
Access:Client CLASS(FileManager) !declare Access:Client class
Init PROCEDURE
END
Client FILE,DRIVER('TOPSPEED'),PRE(CLI),THREAD !declare Client file
IDKey KEY(CLI:ID),NOCASE,OPT,PRIMARY
Record RECORD,PRE()
ID LONG
Name STRING(20)
StateCode STRING(2)
END
END
CODE
Access:Client.Init !initialize Access:Client obj
Relate:Client.Init(Access:Client,1) !init Relate:Client–use logout
Relate:Client.AddRelation( Relate:States ) !relate Client to States file
!program code
Relate:Client.Kill !shut down Relate:Client object
Access:Client.Kill !shut down Access:Client object
