The For_All command is a macro/command not really belonging in the object oriented way of programming. Internally the command uses subroutines. The enclosed example workspace contains a new class, cForAll, which enables you to do for all constructions in an object oriented fashion.
You can create static and dynamic (Create function) objects of the class. For example:
Object oForAllOrders Is A cForAll
Set piMainTable To Orderhea.File_number
Set piOrdering To Index.1
End_Object // oForAllOrders
On all events (e.g. OnPreFindRecords, OnRecordFound, OnPostFindRecords) you can assign your own event handler.
You can connect two cForAll objects (for parent relationships) by sending the message DoAddParentForAll passing the parent cForAll object ID.
Object oForAllCustomers Is A cForAll
Set piMainTable To Customer.File_Number
Procedure OnRecordFound Handle hoForAll RowId riRecord
Send AppendTextLn Of oResultsBox Customer.Name
Send DoStartProcess Of oForAllOrders
End_Procedure // OnFoundRecord
End_Object // oForAllCustomers
Object oForAllOrders Is A cForAll
Set piMainTable To Orderhea.File_Number
Send DoAddParentForAll oForAllCustomers
Procedure OnRecordFound Handle hoForAll RowId riRecord
End_Procedure // OnFoundRecord
End_Object // oForAllOrders
