Client selection [server opens all dbs as local connections]:
replace return with numToChar(29) in itemList
replace return with numToChar(29) in searchCriteria
requestSDBService
sdbBuffer,"find",packArguments(9,exactKey,fieldDelimiter,itemList,setPos
ition,searchForward,searchCriteria,cutoffKey,recordDelimiter,unlockRecor
d)
get the result
if not word 1 of it and setPosition then put word 4 of it into
sdbPosition
put it into sdbParameters
return it
Every db access call has similar logic, but the second and third
arguments are unique. To generalize:
replace return with numToChar(29) in itemList
replace return with numToChar(29) in searchCriteria
put
packArguments(9,exactKey,fieldDelimiter,itemList,setPosition,searchForwa
rd,searchCriteria,cutoffKey,recordDelimiter,unlockRecord) into
packedArguments
doGeoffsHandler sdBuffer,"find",packedArguments
return the result
on doGeoffsHandler @sdBuffer,serviceType,packedArguments
requestSDBService sdbBuffer,serviceType,packedArguments
get the result
if not word 1 of it and setPosition then put word 4 of it into
sdbPosition
put it into sdbParameters
return it
end doGeoffsHandler
I've saved two lines in the original handler...for what--the need to
look up another handler to see the full picture?
