Introduction
GoldMines GM5S32.DLL is a standard dynamic-link library (DLL) that offers developers efficient methods to both access GoldMines databases, and to update GoldMines synchronization logs when external applications update GoldMine data. Most development environments can load GM5S32.DLL. GoldMine does not need to run to use GM5S32.DLL. GM5S32.DLL installs into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory automatically with GoldMine 5.0. Therefore, third-party developers do not need to distribute GM5S32.DLL with their applications. For an in-depth discussion on interfacing with GoldMine, visit the Public.GoldMine.Programming newsgroup, which you can access directly from the GoldMine Web site at http://www.goldminesw.com/newsgroups. This document contains the information you need to:
Load and initialize GM5S32.DLL Use of the new Business Logic functions Work with DataStream functions Work with low-level data access functions Update GoldMine synchronization information when data is changed by an external application

Business Logic Explained

GoldMine 5 introduces a new concept for people wishing to develop integrated products with GoldMine. We call this Business Logic. Business Logic transactions are commonly used procedures wrapped into a single call. For example to attach a new profile to a record you simple execute the WriteProfile function. In order to make these Business Logic methods useful, there must be a way to pass multiple parameters to the various methods. To accomplish this GoldMine provides a set of functions to control Name/Value containers. All Business Logic functions rely on a Name/Value container to hold the multiple parameters and return values. The GoldMine API allows you to call these functions from the GM5S32.DLL or a GM COM object. Name/Values Containers Name/Values - or NVs - are simply a Name and a Value combination. You can equate a Name/Value to the following example: Company=GoldMine Software Corporation Company is the Name and GoldMine Software Corporation is the Value. Using a set of NV pairs provides an easy mechanism to pass multiple parameters to a function. By allowing the user to populate the NV pairs into a set or container, and then executes a Business Logic transaction against the set. The transaction will then add extra pairs to the container to return the results. Since the NV container remains in memory until you clear it, it can be used to make several calls without clearing all the previous values. This would be useful when you want to call the same function with only slight changes to the values such as scheduling a recurring activity or when a return value of one call is needed for a subsequent call. The Business Logic methods allow the programmer to easily read and write GoldMine data. In the past one had to be very familiar with the schema and methodology of GoldMine databases in order to integrate with Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine. The new Business Logic functions ease this burden and provide a more standardized and safe way to integrate with GoldMine. Business Logic functions wrap several other low-level calls to perform common tasks. We can compare an example flow to a common task using both methods: Method 1, updating a contact record using the GM5S32.DLL or DDE: Step 1 Open the Contact1 database Step 2 Set the index tag Step 3 Seek the record Step 4 If not found then Append a new record Step 5 Replace field values Step 6 Close the database Method 2, updating a contact record using the Business Logic Methods: Step 1 Load an NV Container with the values for the contact record Step 2 Execute the WriteContact method. This is a basic example but you can see how much simpler Method 2 would be compared to Method 1.

GM5S32.DLL - Loading and Logging In

The following section describes the functions available for the programmer to Load the BDE and login to a GoldMine table. You can refer to section Code Examples - GM5S32.DLL for function prototypes and code examples in C++, Visual Basic and Delphi.

GMW_LoadBDE
Loads the BDE. GMW_LoadBDE must be called before calling any function that accesses databases, such as GMW_DB_Read and GMW_DS_Query. GMW_UnloadBDE must be called before unloading the DLL. Syntax: GMW_LoadBDE( <szSysDir>, <szGoldDir>, <szCommonDir>, <szUser>, <szPassword> ) Parameters: <szSysDir> specifies the location of LICENSE.DBF. <szGoldDir> specifies the location of CAL.DBF. <szCommonDir> specifies the location of CONTACT1.DBF. <szUser> specifies the GoldMine user name (must be UPPERCASE). <szPassword> specifies the users password (must be UPPERCASE).

GM5S32.DLL DataStream Functions

Introduction
DataStream returns the data of ordered records from any GoldMine table using the most efficient method available. The caller can specify: Fields and expressions to return Range of records to return Optional filter to apply to the data set

DataStreams SQL query capabilities are very fast on SQL databases. The DataStream method allows for many useful applications. One such group of applications could merge HTML templates with the data returned by GoldMines DataStream to publish the contents of GoldMine data on the Internet. Web pages can be created to display GoldMine data requested by a visitor. Based on the visitor's selections, a company could dynamically present a variety of HTML pages, including dealer addresses in a particular city, financial numbers stored in Contact2, and even seating availability at upcoming conferences. With a fast Internet connection and a strong SQL server, the GoldMine client could respond simultaneously to dozens of requests.

Advantages of using DataStream

GoldMines DataStream is absolutely the fastest way to read data from GoldMine tables! Used correctly, DataStream will return the data faster than most development environments would directly. DataStream offers the following advantages: Efficiency: DataStream issues a single, most efficient SQL query or dBASE seek to retrieve records from the back-end database to the local client. On SQL databases, requests of a few hundred records could be sent from the server to the client with a single network transaction, greatly minimizing network traffic. Speed: All fields and expressions are parsed initially by GMW_DS_Range() and GMW_DS_Query(), then quickly evaluated against each record in GMW_DS_Fetch. Other DDE methods (and development environments) require that each field be parsed and evaluated each time its data is read. This makes a big difference when reading hundreds or thousands of records. Simplicity: Only three function calls are required to read all the data. Using traditional record-by-record querying would require one call for each field of each record (reading 10 fields from 50 records would require 500 function calls). Results: All the work to gather and format the data is done in C++, which is the fastest way to fly. The caller needs only to parse the resulting packet string.

DataStream Record Selection

The following DATASTREAM functions are listed in the order in which they must be called. GMW_DS_Range(): opens a ranged cursor GMW_DS_Query(): opens an SQL query cursor GMW_DS_Fetch(): fetches records GMW_DS_Close(): closes cursor Note that either the GMW_DS_Range() function or the GMW_DS_Query() function must be called first to request the data. These functions return an integer handle which must be passed to the GMW_DS_Fetch() and GMW_DS_Close() functions.

Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference You must use either GMW_DS_Range() or GMW_DS_Query()you cannot use both. The GMW_DS_Range and GMW_DS_Query functions execute equally fast on SQL databases. GMW_DS_Range executes much faster on dBASE tables than GMW_DS_Query.

Page 24

GMW_DS_Range
GMW_DS_Range returns a range of records based on an index. Syntax: GMW_DS_Range( <szTable>, <szTag>, <szTopLimit>, <szBotLimit>, <szFields>, <szFilter>, <szFDlm>, <szRDlm> ) specifies the table name (such as Contact1) or the table ID. designates the tag that corresponds to the index file. specifies the top limit of the range. (Must conform to the index specifies the bottom limit of the range. (Must conform to the index expression.) The szFields parameter passed to GMW_DS_Range should consist of the field names and dBASE expressions to evaluate against each record in the data set. Each field must be terminated with a semicolon (;). dBASE expressions must be prefixed with an ampersand (&), and terminated with a semicolon. For example: Company; Contact; Phone1; &Substr(Zip,1,5);

Parameters: <szTable> <szTag> <szTopLimit> expression.) <szBotLimit> <szFields>

The following parameters are optional: <szFilter > <szFDlm> <szRDlm> Returns: 1-20 0 designates an optional xBASE filter expression. specifies the field delimiter (default: carriage return). specifies the record delimiter (default: line feed).

Succesful handle Failure.

GMW_DS_Query
Returns a range of records based on an SQL query. This function is very fast on SQL databases. Syntax: Parameters: GMW_DS_Query( <szSQL>, <szFilter>, <szFDlm>, <szRDlm> ) <szSQL> query sends the query for evaluation on the server. The SQL query can join multiple tables and return any number of fields.

The following parameters are optional: <szFilter > <szFDlm> <szRDlm> Return: 1-20 0 -1 designates an optional xBASE filter expression. specifies the field delimiter (default: carriage return). specifies the record delimiter (default: line feed).

Succesful handle Failure. Invalid SQL Query/Timeout

GMW_DS_Fetch
Returns a single packet string containing the requested data from all records processed by the current fetch command, as specified by the nGetRecs parameter. iHandle must be the value returned from GMW_DS_Range( ) or GMW_DS_Query( ). This fetch command can be issued multiple times, with positive and negative values, to scroll down or up the cursor. Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference

Page 25

DataStream takes about as much time to read three records as to read 30. For best performance, adjust the number of records requested by GMW_DS_Fetch to return 8K32K packets. The calling application must allocate the memory for a large enough packet buffer, and pass that memory buffer to GMW_DS_Fetch. When the number of records cannot be estimated to allocate a packet buffer, GMW_DS_Fetch can be called twice, once to fetch the data and return a buffer size, and a second time to retrieve the data into the buffer. When GMW_DS_Fetch is first called to get the buffer size, the szBuf and iBufSize parameters must both be 0. The nGetRecs parameter must indicate the number of records to fetch. When GMW_DS_Fetch is then called to retrieve the data that has been fetch by the first call, the nGetRecs parameter must be 0. See DataStream C++ Examples (Example 2) on page 50. GMW_DS_Fetchs Return Packet Explained GMW_DS_Fetch returns a single packet string containing the data from all requested records. The packet includes a header record, followed by one record for each record evaluated by fetch. Within each record in the packet, the fields are separated by a field delimiter specified in GMW_DS_Range or GMW_DS_Query. By default, the field delimiter is the carriage return character (13 or 0x0D). The records in the packet are separated by the record delimiter. By default, the record delimiter is the line feed character by default (10 or 0x0A). These delimiters are convenient when the requested data does not contain notes from blob fields. When requesting notes, override the default delimiters by passing other delimiter values to GMW_DS_Range( ) and GMW_DS_Query( ) . For packets with notes, good delimiters are the ASCII characters 1 and 2. GMW_DS_Fetch might return a packet of data similar to: 3000-0004 Bill|Boston|23 Michael|London|393 Calvin|Los Angles|633 Larry|New York|29 The packet header record consists of two sections:
First byte can be 0, 3, or 4: 0 - indicates that more records are available, which could be fetched with another GMW_DS_Fetch call 3 - indicates the end-of-file (EOF) 4 - indicates the beginning-of-file (BOF) The number following the dash (0004 in the sample above) indicates the total number of data records contained in the packet.

Syntax:

GMW_DS_Fetch( <iHandle>, <szBuf>, <iBufSize>, <nGetRecs> ) The Datastream handle returned by GMW_DS_Range or Buffer to hold result packet Size of returned <szBuf> Number of records to fetch.

Parameters: <iHandle> GMW_DS_Query <szBuf> <iBufSize> <nGetRecs>

GMW_DS_Close

GMW_DS_Close must be called when the DataStream operation is complete. Unclosed DataStreams will leak memory and leave the database connections needlessly open. Passing a Handle of 0 closes all open DataStream objects. Syntax: GMW_DS_Close( <iHandle>) The Datastream handle returned by GMW_DS_Range or

Parameters: <iHandle> GMW_DS_Query Returns: 1 0 Success Failure

GM5S32.DLL - Low-Level access using Work Areas

Introduction
GoldMines GM5S32.DLL provides a complete set of functions that allow low-level access to the database tables. Using these functions, you can:
Open/Close particular data files Append/Delete records Reading and writing data Limiting the scope of data Searching for data Navigating through the database

Note! These functions allow direct access to the data and require a very sophiscated knowledge of the GoldMine schema and database methodology. It is highly recommended that before resorting to these functions you first look at the Business logic functions to handle your needs. The Business Logic functions actually wrap these low-level functions and use them properly and are therefore safer to use. Database applications that need varied access to GoldMine data typically use this suite of functions. To work successfully, these functions rely on a work area parameter. Using this parameter, you can open multiple data files concurrently, and manipulate each file independently by referencing the file by work area. These functions also maintain synchronization information, which is stored in the TLogs. Detailed descriptions of each database access function appear on the following pages. Some of the following functions make reference to table names, field names, and index names. For details, see Database Structures in the GoldMine Reference Manual and/or Help file.

Opening/Closing databases
These are functions important to all other low-level operations. Opening and closing databases is required for proper operation of all other low-level functions.

GMW_DB_Open
Opens one of GoldMines data files for processing by another application. Syntax: GMW_DB_Open( <szTablename> ) The name of the table to open. You may use a full path if required for dBase tables

Parameters: <szTableName> Returns: >0 0

Success A Work Area handle is returned Failure

GMW_DB_Close
Releases a previously opened file when processing is complete. All previously opened files must be properly closedfailure to do so can result in database errors. Syntax: GMW_DB_Close( <lWorkArea> ) The work area handle of the file opened by the GMW_DB_Open

Parameters: <lWorkArea> function. Returns: 1 0

Creating and Deleting Records

The following functions will allow you to add and delete records from the database.

GMW_DB_Append
Adds a new, empty record to a GoldMine data file. Before using GMW_DB_Append, you must open a data file using the GMW_DB_Open function. After executing the GMW_DB_Append function, the record pointer is positioned at the new empty record, and the record is locked and ready to accept field replacements. This function will lock the record so you should always call GMW_DB_Unlock when finished using this function. When a CONTACT1 record is appended, GoldMine automatically fills in the new record with the appropriate ACCOUNTNO and CREATEBY values. For all other table records, you must replace the ACCOUNTNO field with the value from the CONTACT1 record with which the new record is to be linked. For records that require remote synchronization initialization, GoldMine will automatically fill in the value of the RECID field when these records are appended. Syntax: GMW_DB_Append( <lWorkArea>, <szRecID> ) The work area handle as returned by GMW_DB_Open A 20-character buffer to accept the new RecID

Parameters: <lWorkArea> <szRecID> Returns:

RecNo of new record (dBase) RecID of new record is returned in <szRecID> (SQL) 0 failure

GMW_DB_Delete
Deletes the current record in the specified work area, and moves the record pointer to the next record. For records that require remote synchronization initialization, GoldMine will automatically maintain the TLog entry. Syntax: GMW_DB_Delete( <lWorkArea> ) The work area handle as returned by GMW_DB_Open

Parameters: <lWorkArea> Returns: 1 0 Success Failure

Limiting scope of data

These functions will limit the scope of data available. You might wat to limit the data to only those records in a particular state for example. Using scopes wisely can greatly increase performace for subsequent operations.

GMW_DB_Filter
Limits access to data in a GoldMine database by creating a subset of records based on expression criteria. This function is similar to GMW_DB_Range. If successfully called, all other functions (GMW_DB_Top, GMW_DB_Bottom, GMW_DB_Skip, etc.) will respect the filter. Syntax: GMW_DB_Filter( <lWorkArea>, <szFilterExpr>) The work area handle as returned by GMW_DB_Open An xBase filter expression.

Parameters: <lWorkArea> <szFilterExpr> Returns: 1 0 Success Failure

GMW_DB_Range
Activates the index in a table, and set a range of values to limit the scope of data that GoldMine will search. This function is faster than GMW_DB_Filter. The Min and Max values must be formatted the same as the selected index names expression. If successfully called, all other functions (GMW_DB_Top, GMW_DB_Bottom, GMW_DB_Skip, etc.) will respect the range. Syntax: GMW_DB_Range( <lWorkArea>, <szMin>, <szMax>, <szTag>) The work area handle as returned by GMW_DB_Open Minimum or lower value of the range. Maximum or upper value of the range. the index name.

Quick Functions
The functions in this section are wrappers for the various other low-level functions. They are provided as a quick and easy way to perform common tasks. Be aware that although the functions are named Quick it is meant in the context of convenience and not speed of operation. When used in a single instance these functions are just as fast as the low-level function however, when used in loops these function perform more slowly. The reason is because these function each open/close their own work areas each time they are called.

GM5S32.DLL - Updating Sync Logs

GoldMines GM5S32.DLL offers developers a method to update the GoldMine synchronization logs whenever an external application updates GoldMine data outside of the GM5S32.DLL or GM5 COM object functions.

GMW_UpdateSyncLog
GMW_LoadBDE must be called before calling GMW_UpdateSyncLog for the first time. When updating multiple fields of the same record, GMW_UpdateSyncLog must be called for each modified field. However, if the first call returns 1 or 2, it is not necessary to call GMW_UpdateSyncLog for the rest of the modified fields for that specific record. Syntax: GMW_UpdateSyncLog( <szTable>, <szRecID>, <szField>, <szAction> ) Specifies the table name (such as Contact1) or the Table ID Specifies the RecID of the updated record: the correct RecID must be passed, and the RecID value must be exactly 15 characters long. Specifies the name of the field that has changed. This parameter is only relevant when the Action parameter is U. szField is ignored when szAction is N or D. Should be N when a new record has been appended, D when a record has been deleted, or U when a field in a record has been updated.

Parameters: <szTable> <szRecID> <szField> <szAction>

Returns:

32 16 8 4 2 1 0

New Tlog Entry removed Deleted Tlog Entry Field Tlog entry updated Field Tlog entry created New Tlog entry update New Tlog entry created Failure

GMW_ReadImpTLog
GMW_LoadBDE must be called before calling GMW_ReadImpTLog for the first time. GMW_ReadImpTLog is executed in a thread, so multiple calls can be made. Your application can determine when the imported process completes by setting the iDeleteWhenDone parameter to 1, and noting when the import file is deleted. The TLog import must have the structure shown below:
Field Name Type Length

Table ID RecID Field ID Action ID

char char char char

10 15 10 1

Syntax:

GMW_ReadImpTLog( <szFile>, <bDelDone>, <szStatus> ) Specifies the import file name. Specifies to delete the import file when the process has completed. Buffer used to monitor the status of the process. Optional, can be NULL. If passed, the szStatus buffer must be at least 10 characters long.

Parameters: <szFile> <bDelDone> <szStatus>

Returns:

>0

Success. Total number of imported Tlog records. Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference 0 Failure

Page 39

GMW_NewRecID
GMW_NewRecID returns a new RecID in the szRecIDBuf. GMW_NewRecID can be called without first calling GMW_LoadBDE. Syntax: GMW_NewRecID( <szRecIDBuf>, <szUser> ) Specifies the application allocated buffer to contain the new RecID. The buffer must be at least 16 characters long. Specifies the GoldMine user name.

Parameters: <szRecID> <szUser> Returns:

pointer to szRecIDBuf

GMW_SyncStamp
Converts Sync Stamp to time format and back. Syntax: GMW_SyncStamp( <szStamp>, <szOutBuf> ) When this string parameter is exactly 17 characters long, formatted as Date:Time in the form of CCYYMMDD:HH:MM:SS, the return string in szOutBuf is in TLog timestamp format, exactly seven characters long. When the szStamp parameter is seven characters long formatted as a TLog timestamp, the return string in szOutBuf is formatted as CCYYMMDD:HH:MM:SS. Result of function. An empty return string indicates an error.

Parameters: <szStamp>

<szOutBuf> Returns: 1 0 Success Failure

GM5 COM Object

Introduction
The GoldMine COM API wraps the 'C' API (GM5S32.DLL) in order to simplify access to the Name/Value pair component of the GoldMine API as well as the low-level WorkArea API. All objects are exposed using dual interfaces, in order to make them accessible to both clients that support virtual table binding, and clients that only support Dispatch Table binding (such as VBScript or JScript). This document describes the objects in the COM API and how to use them. For specific information about available Name/Value pairs, and the transactions that can be executed, refer to Business Logic Methods. For specific information about the low-level WorkArea API, refer to the section "GM5S32.DLL - Low Level Access using Work Areas"

Figure 1 - The GM COM API Object Model

Figure 1 shows the objects in the model, together with their methods and properties. Not all of these objects are visible to the Visual Basic/Visual Basic Scripting Edition/ or Java Script client. The two enumerator objects are present to support Visual Basics For Each syntax.

GoldMine API Specification and Reference

Page 41

A brief summary of the model is in order at this point. Only the top level object (GMApplication) is directly creatable by the client. This object encapsulates the functionality required to manage logins and logouts. The client would create an instance of this object, set its properties, and call Login. After a successful login, the client would then call NewContainer to create a new Name Value pair container. This would return an instance of the GMWContainer class. The container class exhibits standard COM Collection semantics. It supports methods to allow the client to add name/value pairs, remove them, and get them by name. It also supports an enumerator that allows enumeration through all the pairs on a specific container. The use of default methods allows VB(Script) and JavaScript clients a simplified syntax for accessing the object. This will be expanded on in the specific documentation on the Container object. When a client adds a new Name/Value pair, a GMNVPair object is returned. This can in turn behave as a collection of values, since it is possible to have single of multiple valued NV Pairs. Once again, the use of default methods simplifies the client programming model. To Use the WorkArea API, the developer would call NewWorkArea on the Application object, which is the equivalent of the GMW_DB_Open function on the C API. Thereafter the methods on the WorkArea class will act on the WorkArea (or table) that was opened, to allow the developer to read and update this table. All methods on all classes make use of standard COM error handling to indicate failure. In the event of a call failing, a failure HRESULT will be returned (a VB exception), and a standard COM ErrorInfo object will be used to provide rich error information. All Error codes are made available through the EGMErrors enumeration in the type library.

The Application class.

This is the entry point to the Object Model. The Application class is call GMApplication. It can be instantiated using the ProgId GMCOMApi.Application.

Properties
SystemFolder This is a string property that contains the location of the LICENSE.DBF file. This property maps to the Goldmine API szSysDir parameter in the call to GMW_LoadBDE. GoldmineFolder This is a string property that contains the location of the CAL.DBF file This property maps to the Goldmine API szGoldDir parameter in the call to GMW_LoadBDE. CommonFolder This is a string property that contains either the location of CONTACT1.DBF, or the BDE alias used to access the database. For example, to access SQL Server, an alias of MSSQL_Goldmine might be configured. The string to access this would be MSSQL: MSSQL_GoldMine: dbo:. GMUserName This is a string property that contains the user name to be used to login to GoldMine. All GoldMine user ids are all upper case, so the GMApplication object will convert this property to uppercase when a login occurs. GMPassword This is a string property that contains the password used to login to GoldMine. This is a write only property. SQLUserName This is a string property that contains the SQL Server user id if the underlying database is SQL server. SQLPassword This is a string property that contains the password for the SQL server account used if the database is SQL server. This is a write only property. Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference LicenseInfo This is an object containing all the license information for the current installation.

Page 42

Methods
Login This method Loads the BDE (if it has not already been loaded), and logs the user in using the properties as they have been set. Logout This method logs out the logged in user. NewContainer This method creates a new blank Name/Value pair container object, and returns it. Execute This method takes as parameters a Business Logic Function name (eg WriteContact) and a Container object containing the Name/Value pairs for the transaction. It then executes the transaction, and updates the pairs in the container with the results. NewWorkArea Creates a new work area on the specified table.

The Container class.

This class cannot be created directly, but should always be created using the NewContainer method on the GMApplication class. This class supports collection semantics to enable the client access to the Name/Value pairs stored internally. By behaving like a collection, the Container is simple to use for developers used to the Collection paradigm so prevalent in the VBA/VB/VBS world. The general scenario for use of a Container would be to Create the container, Add a number of Name/Value pairs, Execute a transaction, Read the results out of the Container.

Properties
Count This returns the number of Name/Value pairs in the container. _NewEnum This property is hidden from VB clients. It returns an enumerator into the collection. This can be used from VB using the For Each object in Collection syntax. C++ clients will use this interface as an IEnumVARIANT* to do the enumeration. Add Adds a new entry to the collection. The Add method takes a Name and a Value as parameters, and creates a new NVPair, which it returns. The Value is an optional parameter which defaults to an empty string. If an empty string is passed for the value (or if the optional parameter is left out), the pair is created with no value. This is useful for creating multi value pairs. Remove Removes the pair specified by the name.

Methods
Item This method is the default method for the class. It takes a name as a parameter, and returns the name value pair that corresponds to that name. Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference CopyFrom Converts this container into a copy of the container passed in. Copy Makes a copy of this container and returns it.

Page 43

The Name/Value Pair Class

This class encapsulates a single name/value pair. Because a Name/Value pair could have multiple values, this class is modeled as a collection of strings, where each string represents a single value. Because the Item method is the default method, and the default parameter is 1, VB clients will see the first entry in the collection as the Value of the object. When a GMNVPair object is created using the Add method on the container the pair has a single value. If the client wishes this to be a multivalue pair, then Successive calls to Add on the GMNVPair class will append values. These values can be enumerated using the standard collection semantics.

Properties
Count Returns the number of values in this N/V Pair. Name The Name of the N/V Pair _NewEnum An enumerator to enumerate the Values. Invisible to VB clients.

Methods
Add Appends a value to the end. Item Returns the specified value. This takes a long as the index parameter. The index is 1 based. This is the default Method, and the default parameter is 1.

The WorkArea Class

This class encapsulates the Work Area functions in the Low Level API. Each method corresponds to an underlying function, and is simply a thin wrapper around the function.

Methods
Append Adds a new record, and returns the new record ID Replace Replaces a specific field at the current position Delete Deletes the current record Unlock Unlocks after an update or an append has locked the work area Read Reads the contents of the specified field at the current position Top Sets the current position to the top of the work area Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation

GoldMine API Specification and Reference Bottom Sets the current position to the bottom of the work area SetOrder Sets the current index tag on the table Seek Positions to the first record matching the seek value Skip Skips the specified number of records Goto Moves to the specified record Move Positions the record pointer to a particular record in a data file Search Performs a sequential search on a file

Page 44

Filter Limits access to data in a GoldMine database by creating a subset of records based on expression criteria. Range Activates the index in a table, and set a range of values to limit the scope of data that GoldMine will search RecNo Used to determine either current record number position (dBASE), or the record ID (SQL) IsSQL Used to determine if the table is SQL (1) or dBASE (0).

The LicenseInfo Class

This class encapsulates the License Information of the current server. It is accessed from the Application object as a property.

Properties
Licensee The name of the Licensee LicenseNumber The Master Serial Number SiteName The Undocked Site Name LicensedUsers The number of Licensed Users LicensedSQLUsers The number of Licensed SQL Server Users Copyright 1999 GoldMine Software Corporation
