logical values, if and else

[shilpashah]

suppose my database in paradox has a field for gender, with male and female . now i need to denote them by 0 and 1 respectively, how do i do it.

eg how does the function of if and else work.

thanks

Make the field a Short Integer and set the picture value to "0,1". On your data entry form, make the field a radio button with values of 0 and 1 respectively, then change the text labels to Male and Female (depending on which one is 1 and which is 0).

IF (statement that can be true or false)
THEN (do something if true)
ELSE (do something else if false)
ENDIF

By using NOT in the IF statement you can reverse the effect if you need to.
