The Debugger displays references to the objects contained in a ProDataSet, in addition to the attributes of the ProDataSet itself. These objects are accessible via ProDataSet methods. The Debugger, however, cannot execute methods; therefore, in the Dataview dialog box, these references appear as special entries in mixed case (upper and lower), to differentiate them from the attributes, which appear in uppercase, as shown in the following figure.

You can select one of the MemberBuffer lines and refresh the Dataview dialog box to view the buffer's attributes. The Debugger takes a similar approach to the other methods that retrieve ProDataSet-related information (GET-CHILD-RELATION, GET-SOURCE-BUFFER, and so on), as shown in the following table:

Table 1. ProDataSet-related information
Object Method Dataview object name
BUFFER GET-CHILD-RELATION() ChildDataRelation
DATA-SOURCE GET-SOURCE-BUFFER() SourceBuffer
DATASET GET-BUFFER-HANDLE() MemberBuffer
DATASET GET-RELATION() DataRelation
DATASET GET-TOP-BUFFER() TopBuffer
