Object Operators
The following table details object operators, their options, and examples of usage.
Name
Description and Example
New
Specifically for connector object variables (DJImport and DJExport). New indicates that a new object is being created, as opposed to assigning a reference to an existing object. The only parameter required is the name (connlist entry) of the connector being created.
Example
'Assigning a reference to an existing object:
MyImport = MyOldImport

'Creating a new object:
Set MyImport = New DJImport "Microsoft SQL Server 7"
Set
Operator used to assign an object to a previously dimensioned object variable.
Example
Dim x As DJFieldSet
x = FieldAt("/SOURCE/R1/MyField")
=
The assignment operator. This is only used in the context of the Set operator to assign an object address to a variable name. It cannot be used for comparison.
Example
Set x = FieldAt("/SOURCE/R1/MyField")
This would be read as Set "X" to the default field, not as "Set X" equals the default field.
Is Nothing
Checks if an object variable has been dimensioned and set. Returns 0 if the object exists, and has been set, 1 otherwise.
Example
If X Is Nothing Then
  Dim X As DJFieldSet
  X = FieldAt("/SOURCE/R1/MyField")
End If
