| FileName | ANY, PROTECTED |
The FileName property is a reference to the variable specified by the managed file's NAME attribute. The FileName property determines which DOS/Windows file is accessed by the FileManager object. The FileName property may also be used for error messages and other display purposes.
The SetName method sets the contents of the filename variable. The GetName method returns the filename.
Implementation:
You must initialize either the FileName property or the FileNameValue property (but not both) after the Init method is called, or within a derived Init method specific to the managed file. See the Conceptual Example.
Example:
Access:Client CLASS(FileManager) !derive Access:Client object
Init PROCEDURE !prototype Access:Client init
END
ClientFileName STRING('Client01.tps') !variable for filename
Client FILE,DRIVER('TOPSPEED'),NAME(ClientFileName) !file with variable name
Record RECORD,PRE()
ID LONG
Name STRING(20)
END
END
CODE
GlobalErrors.Init
Access:Client.Init
!program code
Access:Client.Init PROCEDURE !initialize Access:Client object
CODE
PARENT.Init(GlobalErrors) !call the base class Init method
SELF.File &= Client !set File property
SELF.FileName &= ClientFileName !set variable filename
