Documentation

Definition

If you read a record from a generically buffered table, all records whose the left-justified part of the key corresponds to that of this record (generic key fields) are loaded into the buffer.

This left-justified part of the key is determined in this field by entering a number n of key fields. The first n key fields of the table are thus the generic key fields.

The number entered must be between 1 and key field number -1. For example, for a table with 6 key fields, only values between 1 and 5 are allowed.

The value to be entered should be selected so that the generic areas, that is, the set of records corresponding to a record in the generic key fields are not too small.
