VMS Help  —  RDML72  Statements  DB Field, Examples
    The following programs demonstrate the use of the database field
    value expression. These programs use the database field value
    expression, FOR J IN JOBS, to declare the context variable J.
    This allows the programs to use the clause, J.JOB_CODE, to mean
    JOBS.JOB_CODE. The programs search the field JOB_CODE for the
    string "APGM". Any record that contains the specified string
    becomes part of the record stream. These programs then use J to
    qualify the fields in the host language print statements. The job
    title, minimum salary and the maximum salary for each record in
    the record stream are printed.

1  –  C Example

    #include <stdio.h>
    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME "PERSONNEL";

    main()
    {
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY;

    FOR J IN JOBS WITH J.JOB_CODE = "APGM"
       printf ("%s", J.JOB_TITLE);
       printf ("  $%f", J.MINIMUM_SALARY);
       printf ("  $%f\n", J.MAXIMUM_SALARY);
    END_FOR;

    COMMIT;
    FINISH;
    }

2  –  Pascal Example

    program fld_value (input,output);
    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME 'PERSONNEL';

    begin
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY;

    FOR J IN JOBS WITH J.JOB_CODE = 'APGM'
       writeln (J.JOB_TITLE,
                ' $', J.MINIMUM_SALARY: 10 : 2,
                '  $', J.MAXIMUM_SALARY: 10 : 2);
    END_FOR;

    COMMIT;
    FINISH;
    end.
