- PLEEEEEAAAASE HELP
-
- For some reason, probably my error, I cannot get the APPEND command to work
- in CLIPPER 5.01.
-
- Will somebody please slap me on the forehead and explain why the following
- does not work?
-
- SELECT 1
- USE file1
- SET INDEX TO file1ntx
-
- APPEND FROM file2.dbf;
- FOR ((StartNo <= job_no) .AND. (StopNo >= job_no))
-
- NOTE: The lcondition used in the FOR part of the command works fine in a
- COPY TO command. This is an abbreviated version of what I've written so I
- hope the error is elsewhere.
-
- The program just flies through this piece of code!!!!
-
- Thanks in advance.
- Bruce
