METHOD:  DataControl::CreateRecordSet
Set recordsetobject. = datacontrolobject. CreateRecordSet(ColumnInfos)

The CreateRecordset method is called to create and return a new, empty Recordset object.

There is one mandatory parameter.

The ColumnInfos parameter is a variant array (collection of arrays) where each array in the collection contains four required attributes that define each column in the Recordset object. The four attributes are: Name, Type, Size, and Nullability.

The Name attribute is the name of the column.

The Type attribute is one of the DataTypeEnum constants. RDS may substitute types for those data types marked with an * in the table. After the Recordset is created, you can check to determine the actual type.

The Size attribute is an integer that is the the length of the data type. Fixed-length data types must be defined with a -1. Variable-length data types can range from 1 to 32767.

The Nullability attribute is a Boolean value. If True, null values are allowed in the column. If False, null values are not allowed.

Code (VBScript):
' Name
avarDataArray1(0) = "Age"
' Type
avarDataArray1(1) = adInteger
' Size
avarDataArray1(2) = -1
' Nullability
avarDataArray1(3) = False
...
avarColumnInfosArray = Array(avarDataArray1, avarDataArray2, avarDataArray3)
Set objRecordset = objDataControl.CreateRecordset(avarColumnInfosArray)
