Description

The RECNO() function returns the record number of the current record in the currently selected table file. Note that when using indexed tables, RECNO() returns a physical record number in the table, and not a record number relative to the index. If the optional <workarea | alias> is specified, then the function will operate in the required location. The optional <expN> can be used as a softseek function when the value of 0 is specified. If a seek fails on an index table, RECNO(0) will return the record number for the record above the SEEK expression value with respect to the index.

Example

use accounts index acc_no
? recno()
         1
goto 35
? recno()
        35
