DETERMINE; EVERY
DETERMINE; EVERY
Syntax
Example
The DETERMINE; EVERY command is used to read Component and Event records into
memory from the LINC database, for those records that match the Profile Ordinate values
specified.
If the name of a Multiple Ordinate Memo Component is used in place of the Profile with the
DETERMINE; EVERY command, the Automaint Profile for the Memo Component is used.
Caution
It is not good practice to change your Profile keys during the operation of a
DETERMINE; EVERY loop. If you do, the results cannot be guaranteed.

A Profile INVOICE, with Ordinates CUSTOMER and INVOICE-NO, spans an Event SALE.
If CUSTOMER and INVOICE-NO have been entered through the screen with values SMITH
and 1234, respectively. The DETERMINE; EVERY command searches the Profile INVOICE
to find an Event named SALE with a CUSTOMER value of SMITH and an INVOICE-NO
value of 1234.
When a SALE Event is found, it is read into memory, and the value of the AMOUNT data
item is accumulated into INV-TOTAL, completing the logic for this read.
