entity.first( ) 


 

entity.first () -> Result 
Parameter Type   Description
Result  Entity, Null in Reference to first entity of an entity selection

The entity.first( ) method returns a reference to the entity in first position of an 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.

Example  

 C_OBJECT($employees;$employee;$firstEmployee)
 $employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@") //This entity selection contains 3 entities
 $employee:=$employees[2]
 $firstEmployee:=$employee.first() //$firstEmployee is the first entity of the $employees entity selection
