If fld# eq "" then it is empty If fld# ne "" then it has
something in it. <br>
If you press F4 in the memo and empty it, the field will again be
equal to "" (null)<br>

<div>Does this work based on the content of the memo or because
there is a memo "pointer"?</div>

<div>How do you check if the memo actually has content and is
empty?</div>

Just check the contents of the memo field as you would a
regular field.<br>
<br>
Say field 12 is the memo field.<br>
<br>
IF 12 eq "":' No memo<br>
IF 12 ne "":' There is a memo<br>

This should be a simple question. I've been asked to add
memos to an old<br>
application. I'm testing the memo function with a test file.
The show memo<br>
and edit memo commands work just fine. But to make this
actually useful I'd<br>
like to know if a memo has been already created for any
specific record.<br>
Then I could place a dummy field on the screen that says
something like<br>
"Please See Existing Comments - Press 'S'"<br>
I've looked at the fpmanual but that doesn't address this
feature? Is it<br>
missing?<br>
I did try using<br>
MEMO xx CO 'mytext"<br>
as illustrated but that doesn't pass the syntax test<br>
<br>
*** A filePro Error Has Occurred ***<br>
<br>
Line Number: 15<br>
<br>
memo 14 co ""<br>
^<br>
Process contains a syntax error at position indicated.<br>
<br>
Field 14 is 16 chrs and is MEMO type. It does works with the
show and edit<br>
commands.<br>
<br>
Anyone out there actually using the MEMO function? This is a
SCO Unix env<br>
running filePro 5.7.04<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your assistance.<br>
