Soup Functions

Returning a Union Soup

GetUnionSoup(soupName)

This function returns a union soup of all the soups named soupName from all available stores. As we said earlier, the union soup is dynamic; as stores are added or deleted, the size and entries in the union soup change. Here is the standard way you call this method to return a union soup:

allNames := GetUnionSoup("Names");
Print(allNames);
{_Parent: {#3B5C69}, 
 class: UnionSoup, 
 soupList: [#440BF61], 
 theName: "Names", 
 cursors: [#440B099]}
