Methods

	Method	Description
	cancelTimeOut	Cancels a previous method call to the setTimeOut method. (Inherited from Object.)
	del	Deletes the record at the current position in the list.
	equal	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current one. (Inherited from Object.)
	fileId	Retrieves the table ID of the record at the current position in the list.
	first	Puts the pointer on the first record in the list and, if it is present, copies the record into the buffer that is provided.
	get	Copies the record at the current position or the specified position to the provided record buffer, without affecting the pointer position.
	getTimeOutTimerHandle	Returns the timer handle for the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	handle	Retrieves the handle of the class of the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ins	Inserts a record at the end of a list.
	last	Puts the list at the last record and copies the record to the specified record buffer.
	len	Returns the current number of records in the list.
	new	Initializes a new instance of the RecordLinkList class. (Overrides the new Method.)
	next	Puts the pointer on the next record and copies it to the provided buffer.
	notify	Releases the hold on an object that has called the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	notifyAll	Releases a lock on the object that was issued by the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	objectOnServer	Determines whether the object is on a server. (Inherited from Object.)
	owner	Returns the instance that owns the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	peek	Retrieves the record at the current position in the list.
	prev	Puts the pointer on the previous record in the list and copies the record to the specified buffer.
	setTimeOut	Sets up the scheduled execution of a specified method. (Inherited from Object.)
	toString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	usageCount	Returns the current number of references, that is, the value of the reference counter, that the object has. (Inherited from Object.)
	wait	Pauses a process. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

A recordLinkList object is a double-linked list that can hold records of different types at the same time. It is not keyed or sorted.

The recordLinkList object is especially useful for passing records from different tables as a parameter instead of retrieving the same records again.

There is no limit to the size of a recordSortedList object. It is the responsibility of the programmer to control its size and therefore its memory consumption.
