Record IDs provide a filtering mechanism at run-time, eliminating the need for SQL statements to select the desired records.
On the
Data Map
tab in the
Resource Explorer
, click
record1
.
In the
Record
window, right-click the
rectype
field and click
Properties
.
The
Field Properties
dialog box appears.
In the
Record ID Values
list, click the
=
or
<>
button to select the operators for filtering the data. The record IDs 10 and 20 combined with the operator setting determine which data appears. Complete one of the following actions:
Click the
=
button to display records with a record ID value equal to either 10 or 20. In the
Database Row Test Output
window, any record with a record ID that is not equal to 10 or 20 does not appear.
Click the
<>
button to display records with a record ID value that is greater than or less than but not equal to 10 or 20.
The data map stores the record IDs but not the data. Record ID fields might not be displayed in the column view of the data. You cannot use record ID filtering on WRITE.
