- I'm looking for some help on a dbase program I'm writing.
- It's a silly problem, nevertheless, I can't get by it. I need to know how
- to assign inputted text to a text variable
- i.e. input "employee name? " to name
- (oh sorry, this` is for dBase III+)
- I presume I have to define the variable "name" as a character variable,
- but my little reference book seems to have overlooked variable definitions.
- Any suggestions on the proper path to follow?
-
- Thanks in advance.
