Syntax
 FUNCTION VoDbSetLocate(
	cbForCondition AS USUAL
) AS LOGIC
Request Example View Source

Parameters

cbForCondition
Type: Usual
A code block that defines a condition that each record within the scope must meet in order to be processed.
If no scope is specified, cbForCondition changes the default scope to all records.
The code block should contain a logical expression.
It corresponds to the first argument of DBLocate() or VODBLocate().
It is valid until it is overwritten by the next VODBSetLocate().

Return Value

Type: Logic
TRUE if successful; otherwise, FALSE.
Remarks
VODBSetLocate() allows you to change the locate condition. Once you issue a LOCATE command, DBLocate(), or VODBLocate(), you could continue searching but with a different condition. By default, this function operates on the currently selected work area.
It can be made to operate on an unselected work area by specifying it within an aliased expression
This function, however, does not call the error handler and will not, therefore, produce a runtime error message or create an error object if it fails. Thus, it may be important to check the return value to determine if the function succeeded.
the LastRddError property in the runtime state. will contain needed information regarding any error that occurs.

Examples
The following example shows how to search on two different and independent criteria:
X#
 1FUNCTION Locators() AS LOGIC
 2    LOCAL cbForCondition, cbWhileCondition, nNext, ;
 3            uRecId, lRest
 4    USE test
 5    cbForCondition := {||Proper(ALLTRIM(Name)) == ;
 6            "Charly"}
 7    cbWhileCondition := {||TRUE}    // Process to EOF
 8    nNext := -1            // Scope ALL
 9    uRecId := NIL            // Leave it at NIL
10    lRest := FALSE        // Search from top of file
11    // Search for Charly
12    DBLocate(cbForCondition, cbWhileCondition, ;
13        nNext, uRecId, lRest)
14    ? Found(), RECNO(), Name
15    // Specify a second name; Search for Odile
16    VODBSetLocate({||Proper(ALLTRIM(Name))=="Odile"})
17    CONTINUE
18    ? Found(), RECNO(), Name
19    DBCloseArea()
20    RETURN Found()
