BYTE Fields 1

[wchestnut]

Hello, again!

Is there an easy way to change a 0 and 1 BYTE values or the Checkbox to something like 'Yes' and 'No' on report (and a field in a Browse)? The Picture function doesn't seem to support BYTE fields.

I added the field to the Detail section and tried to set "True Value" and "False Value" respectively but it still shows a checkbox on the report which doesn't make sense to me. According to the Help, that should work:

"True Value and False Value let you easily manage legacy data with a check box, or let you use character values such as "T" and "F" or "Yes" and "No" where appropriate.

Hi!

No. You need to use a Local variable to achieve your objective.

ByteColumn BYTE

LocalVar STRING(3)


LocalVar = CHOOSE(ByteColumn, 'Yes', 'No')

Interesting... this language syntax is different from the others I've used. Thanks, again!
