Next, VIRTUAL
The Next method gets the next VIEW element, subject to the applied sort order, range limit, and filter, and returns a value indicating its success or failure.
If Next succeeds, it returns Level:Benign (declared in ABERROR.INC). If it fails, it returns Level:Notify or Level:Fatal depending on the error encountered. See Error Class for more information on severity levels.
Implementation:
The Next method uses the ValidateRecord method to validate records that are not filtered out.
Return Data Type: BYTE
Example:
CASE MyView.Next() !try to get the next record
OF Level:Benign !& check for success
!process the record
OF Level:Notify !& check for failure
!write error log
OF Level:Fatal !& check for fatality
POST(Event:CloseWindow)
BREAK
END
