DeletionRule (Property)
In french: RègleSuppression
The DeletionRule property is used to configure the deletion rule (integrity management) to be applied to the data file described through programming. You can:
  • Find out the deletion rule used for a data file defined in the analysis or through programming
  • Define the deletion rule used for a data file (when describing the dynamic link through programming only).
Example
// Define the deletion rule used in the OrdLine link
OrdLine.DeletionRule = hIntegrityForbidden
...
// Validate the data file description
HDescribeFile(OrdLine)
