Dbedit() can be used to enter/edit records?

[rskomal]

Hi
I am shifting to Clipper from Foxpro for dos. How could I use DBEDIT() to enter/Edit new records with UDF.

Use the <cUserFunction> option to handle the input and give them a key to hit that pulls up an edit/append screen (if you have CA Tools then open a window for this) and then returns to the dbedit. The purists would say use TBrowse but I've only used that on a very complex browse.

Check dbedit syntax, you will see that the 5th parameter is a UDF e.g.

dbedit(1,2,20,78,fld,&quot;myfunc&quot;,pic,hdng)

then in the myfunc ...

FUNCTION MYFUNC
para cvar, fnvar
.
.
.
if lastkey()=13



read
endif
return fnvar


But if you have lots of time, just do the coversion in a GUI environment, go Visual...

Check the NG help for DBEDIT().

Use the example in it and modify.

Durai.
