f$ABAS_Getaddress (f$ABAS_Kundelesen)

One or more addresses from ABAS are read with this function. The search is managed through a search parameter group. However, the only parameters which are evaluated are those for which an allocation to an ABAS field was made in the designation column in the parameter group definition. Wildcards are always used for searching. That means if A is entered as a name, all addresses beginning with A are searched for.

Please note: the name of the parameter groups is usually entered in string constants, i.e. in quotation marks.

Syntax:	Status = f$ABAS_GetAddress (SearchPG, DestPG, NameCount, Sort)
	Argument	Type	Meaning
	SearchPG	String	Name of the parameter group containing the search criteria. This parameter group either has to be indexed, or the index used must also be entered.
	DestPG	String	Name of the parameter group to which the address data is written. This parameter group must be indexed. If needed, the size will be extended.
	NameCount	String	Name of the parameter on which the number of addresses found is written.
	Sort	String	Sort criteria. Only the field name to be used for sorting search results is to be entered here. You cannot sort by any field. You can only sort by fields which can also be selected with interactive search.
