HReadLast (Function) In french: HLitDernier
 Not available with this kind of connection
Sets the position on the last record of a data file according to a browse item. The record is read and the HFSQL variables are updated (e. g. Customer.Name, in other words, the Name item in the Customer data file). The highest value in the browse item is read (for more details, see remarks). In most cases, HReadLast is used to set the position in the data file in order to perform a read loop with HReadPrevious. Several cases may occur after the call to HReadLast: - the data file is empty or no record corresponds to the filter (defined by HFilter): no reading is performed and HOut returns True.
- the function tries to lock a record that is already locked in read-only: no read operation is performed, HErrorLock returns True and HOut returns True.
 The management of locks is not available.
 Access by JDBC: The management of locks is not available for databases accessed by JDBC.
This function can be used with the data files, HFSQL views or queries.
HReadLast(Customer, Name)
WHILE HOut() = False
// Process the record
HReadPrevious(Customer, Name)
END
Syntax
<Result> = HReadLast([<Data file> [, <Browse item>] [, <Options>]])
<Result>: Boolean Corresponds to: - False if an error occurred. In this case, HError returns an integer other than 0. HErrorInfo returns more details about the error. The record is not read.
- the value of HFound in the other cases (the record can be read, even if <Result> returns False).
<Data file>: Optional character string Name of data file, HFSQL view or query used.
If this parameter is an empty string (""), HReadLast manipulates the last data file used by the last HFSQL function (function starting with "H"). <Browse item>: Optional character string Name of item used to loop through the data file or the view. If this name is not specified, HReadLast will use:- For a data file: the last browse item used on this file by the last function for HFSQL management (starting with the letter H). If this item does not exist, the best browse item is automatically used.
- For a query: the ORDER BY of the query (if it exists), otherwise the last item used.
- For a view: the sort item of the view (if it exists), otherwise the last item used.
<Options>: Optional constant (or combination of constants) Configures:- the lock set on the record read by HReadLast.
- whether the filter that was defined must be taken into account.
| | | hForwardOnly | | | hKeepFilter | The filter set by HFilter will be taken into account, even if the search key is not optimized for the filter. Reminder: HFilter returns the search key optimized for the filter.
Caution: In this case, performance issues may arise for large data files.
| | hLockNo | No lock: the record can be read or modified by another application during the reading.
| | hLockReadWrite | Lock in read/write: the record currently read cannot be read or modified by another application.
| | hLockWrite | Lock in write mode: the record currently read can be read by another application but it cannot be modified by another application.
| | hNoRefresh | |
Remarks Read operation according to a key item or not If the item is a key, HReadLast reads the record with the greatest key value. The sort order is the one that was specified in the analysis for this key. If duplicates are found, HReadLast reads the last "duplicate" record according to the sequence of record numbers.
If the item is not a key, HReadLast reads the last active record. When browsing the data file, the records will be sorted according to their record number. In this case, the selected browse item will appear in red in the code editor and a warning will be displayed in the "Code" pane. Memos The memos associated with the record can be automatically read (or not) when reading the record. HSetMemo is used to customize this automatic read operation. If the memos are supported, the associated text memos are read when the record is read. The binary memos are read only when they are explicitly used ( HExtractMemo). Miscellaneous - The current record number is returned by HRecNum.
- HChangeKey is used to modify the search key while remaining positioned on the current record.
- To optimize the first iterations on a data file, use HOptimize on this data file.
- This function replaces HReadLastLock and HReadLastNoLock, which were kept for compatibility with WINDEV 5.5.
