Description

The TABLEREVERT() function is used to discard changes and restore OLDVAL() or currect disk data during buffered processing. If <expL> is .T. or <expN> 1 (True), TABLEREVERT() applies to all rows. If <expL> is .F. or <expN> 0 (False), TABLEREVERT() only applies to the current row.

If the optional <workarea | alias> is specified, then the function will operate in the required location.

set exclusive off
open database southwind
use customers
// Set to known value before start
replace customerid with "ALFKI"
 
cursorsetprop("Buffering", 5, "customers")
messagebox("Buffering set to " +etos(cursorgetprop("Buffering")))
 
? "Original customerid value: " + customerid
? "Curval(): " + curval("customerid")
? "Oldval(): " + oldval("customerid")
? "Fieldstate at start: " + getfldstate("customerid")
 
replace customerid WITH "RECIT"
 
// Alter in another session
! recital -c "update southwind\!customers set customerid = 'MULTI' where recno() = 1"
? "Someone else just updated the record!"
? "New customerid value: " +  customerid 
? "Curval(): " + curval("customerid")
? "Oldval(): " + oldval("customerid")
? "Fieldstate after replace: " + getfldstate("customerid")

? "Reverted customerid value: " +  customerid
