Description

The DBRSELECT() function is synonymous with the TARGET() function. The DBRSELECT() function returns the numeric target workarea of a specified relation defined in the current workarea. By default, the Recital environment supports 20 workareas but this can be increased, by setting the environment symbol DB_MAXWKA to a higher value, which allows for up to (DB_MAXWKA-1) relationships. The <expN> is the position of the corresponding relation in the list of previously defined relations. If there is no relation defined that matches the <expN> on the active table the DBRSELECT() function will return 0.

Example
