TESTCOND() Test a condition or expression for validity
Usage Testcond(<cond>,<type>)
Param <cond> condition to test
<type> type of test to do
L - LOGICAL EXPRESSION i.e. DOGS=CATS
C - CHARACTER EXPRESSION i.e. lname+ltrim(fname)
Example if testcond("DOGS=CATS=MONKEYS","L")
if testcond("lastname=firstname'","C")
Purpose Allows testing of a condition to see if its a valid
condition without crashing the system. Used in clab()
to ensure .lbl selected matches current DBF, and also
in CB.PRG to ensure selected index matched current
DBF. An advanced version of QUERY() allows ad hoc
editing of the query condition and uses TESTCOND()
to test the condition's validity. (future release)
THIS WILL NOT WORK IF THE MODIFIED ERRORSYS SUPPLIED
IS NOT LINKED IN
i.e. TLINK prog,errorsys.obj,,,clipper extend super
Assumes THAT MODIFIED ERRORSYS.OBJ HAS BEEN LINKED IN
(see errorsys.prg)
