Set( datasource )

The Set method sets the GROUP structure to process.

Implementation:

The Set method takes a copy of datasource and calls the Reset method to reset internal counters to process datasource copy from the beginning.

Example:

Spanish   GROUP         !declare constant data

Items     BYTE(50)      !item count

      PSTRING('One')   !begin first item

      PSTRING('Uno')

      PSTRING('Two')   !begin second item

      PSTRING('Dos')

      !48 more PSTRING pairs

     END

LangQ   QUEUE

Text     CSTRING(50)

Repl     CSTRING(50)

       END

Const  ConstantClass      !declare & instantiate Const object

CODE

!process all items at a time

Const.Init(Term:BYTE)     !re initialize the Const object,

                          ! the first BYTE contains item count

Const.AddItem(ConstType:PString, LangQ.Text)  !Describe constant structure and

Const.AddItem(ConstType:PString, LangQ.Repl)  ! variables to accept the values

Const.Set(Spanish)      !pass the constant data to Const object

Const.Next(LangQ)       !copy all constant items to the LangQ

Const.Kill              !shut down Const object
