# __RDDSETDEFAULT()

Set or return the default RDD for the application

Syntax

  __RDDSETDEFAULT([<cNewDefaultRDD>])
  --> cPreviousDefaultRDD

Arguments

  <cNewDefaultRDD> is a character string, the name of the RDD that is to be made the new default RDD in the application.

Returns

  __RDDSETDEFAULT() returns a character string, cPreviousDefaultRDD, the name of the previous default driver. The default driver is the driver that HARBOUR uses if you do not explicitly specify an RDD with the VIA clause of the USE command.

Description

  RDDSETDEFAULT() is an RDD function that sets or returns the name of the previous default RDD driver and, optionally, sets the current driver to the new RDD driver specified by cNewDefaultRDD. If <cNewDefaultDriver> is not specified, the current default driver name is returned and continues to be the current default driver.
  This function replaces the DBSETDRIVER() function.

Examples

          // If the default driver is not DBFNTX, make it the default

          IF ( __RDDSETDEFAULT() != "DBFNTX" )
               cOldRdd := __RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBFNTX" )
          ENDIF
