PA_AddFieldToOrderBy (orderByRef; tNum; fNum; oDirection)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
orderByRef | PA_OrderByRef | → | OrderBy reference |
tNum | short | → | Table number |
fNum | short | → | Field number |
oDirection | char | → | Ordering direction |
Description
The routine
PA_AddFieldToOrderBy
adds the field
fNum
of the table
tNum
to the sort criteria for the
Order By
sequence, previously prepared by
PA_OpenOrderBy
. The sequence must be closed with a call to
PA_CLoseOrderBy
which launches the reorder.
The added field can belong to a related table of the main table (the one that is going to be reordered and whose number was given to
PA_OpenOrderBy
).
You can have up to 20 fields defined within the sort criteria. It is the developer's responsibility not to exceed this count. If
PA_AddToField
has already been called 20 times before calling
PA_CloseOrderBy
, superfluous calls will be ignored.
