Why on earth would anyone shell out to DOS to erase a file?  dBASE III+ and IV
have a perfectly good DELETE FILE (aka ERASE) command in there already.  And I
am automatically suspicious of anyone who uses the ERASE command over the
perfectly serviceable DEL anyway ... hmmph!

About a year and half ago, perhaps more, someone posted a listing of room

and if so know where I could find that post?  Is this list archived
anywhere?

Thanks in advance.

  I tried using VAREAD() and it works fine as long as I move away from
the field after editing the contents of it.  I can't expect the user
to know that one has to edit the field move to the next field and then
press the PROGRAMMED ON KEY to do a comparison.

  How can I read the contents of a field after editing without moving
to the next field ? Any suggetions ?

I don't do Clipper myself, but there was a great article in Data Based Advisor
just recently on this VERY TOPIC by Rick Spence.  Let me look in my back

    YEEESSS, but it wouldn't it be easier to just change the DO WHILE
in the .frg to check the PRINTSTATUS()
ie  (inside a .frg or .lbg)
PRINTJOB
.
.
DO WHILE FOUND() .AND. .NOT. EOF() .AND. gl_prntflg

  IF .NOT. PRINTSTATUS()          && add these lines
    gl_prntflg = .F.
  ENDIF
  .
  .
END PRINTJOB

*-- Setup Environment
*ON ESCAPE DO Prnabort         && since I turn SET ESCAPE off I add
ON KEY LABEL f10 DO prnabort   && this line to provide a manual escape

PROCEDURE Prnabort
gl_prntflg=.F.
RETURN
* EOP: Prnabort

    The gl_prntflg variable is there in case you manually abort out of the
report by pressing 'ESC', you should be able to add the above lines to
automatically check and abort the report if the printer goes off line.

    I agree this seems to be an oversight, but it was there before Borland
bought dBASE so lets blame Ashton-Tate. Then again, it would have been nice
it someone at Borland had caught it.

varread()
returns the name of a field, memory variable, or array element that is in
the process of being edited.
I use it in a help program to provide context sensitive help screens.

Good question.   There really isn't a 'current' clipper ftp site.  Most have
old programs and is very seldom ever updated with clipper files.
I would like to find a site that is willing to be a designated Clipper List
ftp site.  We could use this to share files, help correct problems that
others are currently having (by uploading the source and problem description),
etc...  Is anyone interested in using their FTP site for this (MUST be on a

I still have problems with 5.01a (147) and windows 3.1.  It must be something

I have used dBASE where greek characters were required to be stored.  As long
as you know the ASCII equivalent, you can key it in into a field as a
combination of <ALT> + ASCII to get the greek character.

Have you considered RECITAL? It is xBase which runs under UNIX. Said to be
dBase III IV compliant. If your PCs and MACs can do AIX or X-Windows, they
should all be able to share the db, without the inherant weaknesses of two
"synchronous" data bases which you have if duplicating for both platforms.

Hope this helps.

The "Press any key..." message is a result of calling the DOS erase command.
You can get rid of it by creating a file, lets call it CR, with only an Enter
in it.
(Use a HEX editor to create the file, containing only 0D0A).

Then change the dBase program line to read:
! erase c:\wp51\pc\label.txt <CR

That should send the CR to the ERASE command, thus answering the pause.

I'm not positive this will work, but I've used similar code in other cases.

Capture is a NOVELL external program that redirects printer output
a queue.  This program is used when a program cannot or has not be
written to work with queues.  In this case the capture command is being
used to redirect printing from the local lpt1 port to the default
system queue since no queue is specified.

Subject:      CAPTURE COMMAND FOR NOVELL NETWORK

Thanks for the info from all who responded about the CAPTURE command
problem that I am experiencing.

Another question - Is there a reason why the SET PRINTER TO LPT1,
LPT2, etc... is not used in place of the capture command if the output
is not being sent to a specific Q file?

Also, for comparison to see if I am compliling correctly - can anyone
tell me approximately what is the minimum memory required to execute a
Clipper 5.01 program.  I.E. using either RTLINK or Blinker's Dynamic
overlaying to the max, what is the lowest memory requirement can I
obtain?

Thanks

	I have to write an application where the user would be able to

I should be able to recognize the field name that the user is currently
editing so that I can read its contents and do a comparison.  Any ideas

Ex:

	Field-1: XXXXXXXXXXXXX			Field-2: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

		Field-3: XXXXXXXXXXX			Field-4: XXXXXXX

The user can be in any of the four fields (while editing) and I should
be able to recognize the name of the field.

Thanks in advance

Since Paradox lacks the memo field you are pretty well stuck.  If I were
trying to do this, the best I can conceive would be to copy the memo field
into several 255 character fields.  Again, I am pretty sure this would be
possible, certainly in dBASE IV.  I would first try to see what
SUBSTR(memofield, 1, 255)
SUBSTR(memofield, 256, 255) etc looked like.

Hi there,

I don't have access to CompuServe and neither can access
American BBS's. Will somebody be so kind to EMAIL me the
the Clipper Upgrade file (clip501a.zip).

Maybe it can even be posted on this list ???

Many thanks in advance,


Rolf.

I am working on a project for a muffler shop where I want to set up a
dbase for him where he can enter a year of car, and have the screen come
up with options for Chevy, Ford, etc....

I was trying it with dBase III+ but the snag was that I have 16 fields and
since that program will only list them (under the command LIST FOR YEAR = 19xx)
left to right, they scroll onto 2 lines, as does the data in those fields.
I need a program where I can recall those screens listed from top to bottom.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

E-mail please.
