Description

The RTOS() function returns all the fields in the current row as a string. The string will begin with the unique row identifier and then the deleted flag, followed by the data in the record. An optional workarea number or alias name can be specified, otherwise the current workarea will be used.


Example

use backup in 0
use accounts in 0
nrecs=reccount()
for i = 1 to nrecs
    if rtos(accounts) != rtos(backup)
       debug("record "+recno()+" doesn't match")
    endif
next
