Ok...I have to admit I am a Fileman noobie, but am finally getting my hands
dirty with it. Be prepared for a few questions now and again and forgive me if
they are of the 'stupid' variety...
I am building an application that is using pointer variables to enable a sort
of inheritance hierarchy in my fileman DB. So, i have am OO structure that
looks something like:
Entity <|--- Person
(that is a broad arrow notation)
Entity = File #1001
Person = File #1002
to facilitate this, I have the .01 field of the Person file as a pointer
variable type (pointing to the Entity file). I want to use UPDATE^DIE from the
DBS API to insert a new record:
gtm> S FDA(1,1001,"?+1,",.01)="99"
gtm> S FDA(1,1001,"?+1,",1)="PRS"
gtm> D UPDATE^DIE("","FDA(1)","IEN","MSG")
This works no problem, but now how do I add the record to the Person File? as
the .01 field is a pointer?
S FDA(1,1002,"?+1,",.01)=?????????
S FDA(1,1002,"?+1,",1)="Gretzky, Wayne"
thanks in advance for the help...
Michael
