In the following example the variable VAR prints the dbkey of each record in the relational view C in their string format. The length of the dbkeys in this view is 16 bytes (8 bytes by the number of tables in the view). DTR> DECLARE VAR PIC X(80).; DTR> FOR C BEGIN CON> VAR = FN$LASTREC_DBKEY("C"); CON> PRINT - CON> FN$FORMAT_DBKEY(FN$STR_EXTRACT(VAR,1,FN$DBKEY_LENGTH("C"))) CON> END; FN$FORMAT DBKEY 39:512:0 40:518:0 39:512:1 40:518:0 39:512:2 40:518:0 39:512:3 40:518:0 DTR>
