revDatabaseID

Type

function

Summary

Returns the database ID of the database that opened a record set.

Syntax

revDatabaseID(<recordSetID>)

Description

Use the revDatabaseID function to find out which database a record set belongs to.

The returned value is the same as the value returned by the revOpenDatabase function when the database was first opened.

You can use the returned value to close a database after your stack is finished with it.
