Skip()

Move relative to the current record.

Syntax

Skip([<nRecords>]) --> lEnd

Arguments

<nRecords> --> is the number of records to move, relative to the current record. A positive value means to skip forward, and a negative value means to skip backward. If <nRecords> is omitted, a value of 1 is assumed.

Returns

Skip() returns FALSE until the end of the database is reached. The end of the database is defined as the "next record past the last record." When the next record past the last record is reached, logical TRUE is returned. If you are moving backwards through the record list, Skip() returns TRUE when an attempt is made to move before the first record.

Description

Skip() moves either forward or backward relative to the current record. The forward or backward movement is determined by the sequence set by the sort ordering of the database. If the database is not sorted, then movement forward or backward is determined by the original order of input of the database records.
