Example

// declare a Row object without instantiating it

type Row ROW

 

// Assign Column defs and delimiter. This code references

// an uninstantiated object, so a warning will be issued

do ROW.setColumns("String RTN,Date MODDAT,String DES")

do ROW.setDelimiter(";")

 

set ROW.rtn    = "UCGM" // assign values by col. name

set ROW.moddat = "2004-08-16".toDate("YEAR-MM-DD")
