entity.next( )  


 

The entity.next( ) method returns a reference to the next entity in the entity selection.

If the entity does not belong to any existing entity selection (i.e. entity.getSelection( ) returns Null), the method returns a Null value.

If there is no valid next entity in the entity selection (i.e. you are on the last entity of the selection), the method returns Null. If the next entity has been dropped, the method returns the next valid entity (and eventually Null).

Example  

 C_OBJECT($employees;$employee;$nextEmployee)
 $employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@") //This entity selection contains 3 entities
 $employee:=$employees[0]
 $nextEmployee:=$employee.next() //$nextEmployee is the second entity of the $employees entity selection
