BtrvGetFirst (DataVar,Key,Handle)

BtrvGetFirst goes to the first record of the file based on the key number that you pass and reads the record into DataVar. This allows you to access that database in the sorted order of the key. DataVar is a MarxMenu variable and the data read creates an array of the fields stored on disk.


Example:

   Var Fields, Handle, DataVar
   ReadAscTextFile('FIELDS.TXT',Fields)
   Handle = BtrvOpen('BBSUSER.BTD',Fields)

   BtrvGetFirst(DataVar,1,Handle)
   while BrtvResult = 0
      loop DataVar
         Write LoopVal ' '
      endloop
      Writeln
      BtrvGetNext(DataVar,1,Handle)
   EndWhile

This example dumps the contents of a file to the screen.

Result Codes: 6 - Invalid Key Number
