[gxnet]: Line Symbols

[skyhunter]

Hi everyone,   I'm trying to write a GX that takes a database consisting of several lines, say lines 1,2,3&4, and puts them sequentially into a new database consisting of a single line made up of the original four. My problem comes in ordering the lines when I create the 'master' line. For the sake of argument, say all four lines are selected. Some time ago, I found that if you use FirstSelLine_DB() does not necessarily return the symbol handle to Line 1. I tried writing a symbol list of all four lines to a  file. It seems to me that The Oasis database stores the line symbols in a method where it denotes the line labels by a number such as 270. The numbers which Oasis seems to give to the labels are no in order either. For instance, when I did this with the database above, the results were Line 1 = 271, line 2 = 272, but line 3 = 270. If my memory serves me, I think this that when I originally created the database, I created line 3 before I created lines 1&2. I haven't checked it out, but I would expect FirstSellLine() to return Line 3 also.   Does anyone know or have any ideas on how I could get the symbol for line 1 before I get the symbol for line 3? I already came to the decision that putting the line numbers in a variable is not the best way to go since there may be alphanumeric line labels. How does the Oasis Database know in what order to display the lines if they are stored within the file structure in a different way?     Aaron Balasch Sky Hunter Technologies Inc.
