How can I navigate to the next record in a tabular data block?

[patrickdrd]

Hi guys! I have a data block, which I want to fill manually, but I do not know how to get to the next record. Only the first line is filled (from the database). I want to fill it with a for cursor, which retrieves the data I want that data block to have.

Down; or next_record;

Why would you want to fill a data block manually?

You should issue NEXT_RECORD on each step.

Thanks for your answers guys! I found the solution, neither down; or next_record was working because I was in a for cursor loop. I canceled the cursor and moved the item to be filled in the 'bound' data block (moved it from control_block there) and ... all of a sudden ... it worked!

Can you explian why next_record didn't work within cursor loop? Did you try it or this was just an assumption? I see no reasons for not working. Of course the cursor must be on that block (issue GO_BLOCK before processing).
