FileGetFirstRow Function

Action

Sets the current row pointer to the first row in the file. After the current row pointer is set with FileGetFirstRow, you can access the columns of the row with the GetCol function. If the file is opened with a global FileLoad function (FileCSVLoadGlobal or FileFixedLoadGlobal), the current row pointer is set for all virtual users that access this file. Otherwise the current row pointer is set only for the virtual user calling the function.
