- Hi all! If got a problem with a dbase program which work fine under
- dbaseIII plus. Under dbase IV (1.5) a display command won't work from within
- the program. HTe command has the form
-
- display off name, address, phone for &srchfld.
-
- &srchfld is a macro with something like t0=" " .and. t1=" " .and. t2=" "
-
- I can enter the command from the dot prompt and all goes well but it seems
- as if the program just ignores the display command. There are records in the
- database which meet the search criteria.
-
- Is this a problem folks have had? Is there a fix?
-
- Thanks!
