NEW QUIZ #2

[Nancy Palmquist]

I always try to avoid labels and long variables that overlap with 
filepro Commands.  This is just considered bad programming because it is 
confusing.

I also try to remember to avoid making long variables that are the same 
as "field Headings".  I find some very confusing issues when doing this.

Field Headings to the first space are also treated as field 
representations so I can use them exactly as I do field numbers.  So I 
try to make all the headings unique and avoid using the same characters 
for long variables

It would be nice if all these relationships or conflicts could be listed 
in the cross reference or a screen in the debugger.

The field heading thing can make program routines portable. If you call 
the fields the same thing in different files, you can write routines 
using the headings and move them from file to file without rewrites even 
if the field numbers are different.
