Comments

You can explicitly create a result set by adding the characters -> and an appropriate name to the end of any set processing command.

The result setname can be

• the name of a set object in the database. The set specification used in the main command must be consistent with the structure defined for the set object in the Object Dictionary.

•  the name of a result set previously created by a set-producing command such as FIND or DELETE. The set specification used in the main command must be consistent with the structure of the previously named result set, unless a SET CHECKSETS OFF command has been issued.

• a new name

Example

find Employees where LastName = "Jones" -> JSet

The result set JSet contains all records from Employees in which the last name is Jones.
