This article is about the keysString() function of the Rowset object.

To get the keys string as an object instead, use .keyValues().

Syntax

$.udb( *ds* ).rowSet( *rowSet* ).keysString()

The required rowSet parameter is a rowset identifier.

Example

This example returns the keys string of the parent TOUR record that the current row set of SCHEDTOUR refers to. TOUR has a composite primary key spanning 2 columns:

$.udb('SCHEDTOUR').rowSet('current').keysString();
