What's that funny character?
Run this code:
CREATE CURSOR foo (line c(100))
LIST STRUCTURE TO t.txt
APPEND FROM t.txt sdf
GO RECNO()-1
FOR i = 1 TO LEN(TRIM(line))
?i,SUBSTR(line,i,1),ASC(SUBSTR(line,i,1))
ENDFOR
It produces t.txt which looks like this:
Structure for table: E:\FOXTEMP\00003HU100WC.TMP
Number of data records: 0
Date of last update: / /
Code Page: 1252
Field Field Name Type Width Dec Index Collate Nulls Next Step
1 LINE Character 100 No
** Total ** 101
What is the character at position 6 of the field line?

Duh. I just have a blank in the 6th position. I must be doing something wrong.

Hi,
Before the SET CARRY ON, I only saw spaces too. Afterwards, I got a CHR(25) at position 10.
Location of that wierd character is depending on _screen.FontName and .FontSize too. Nice issue :)Anonymous

Thanks Timo!
So the question now is, what is a CHR(26) and why is it there? What does it have to do with SET CARRY ?Anonymous

In my last post, What's that funny character?, I asked about a particular character. In fact, another...Anonymous

CHAR(25), which is Ctrl-y.
Ctrl-y is how you APPEND a new record.
SET CARRY ON | OFF
Brings data from all fields in all work areas forward from the current record to a new record.
Why is it there?Anonymous
