FIELDNUM()
Determines the field number for a specific field in a database file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FIELDNUM(<cFieldName>) --> nFieldNumber
Argument
<cFieldName> Designates to the field name.
Returns
FIELDNUM() returns the number of the data field.
Description
FIELDNUM() is the exact opposite of the CA-Clipper FIELD() function.
Use this function when you need a data field number instead of the data
field name. FIELDNUM() determines if a symbol name pertains to a data
field or a memory variable (see Examples).
Note
. If a data field with the name <cFieldName> is not available,
the function returns a value of 0.
Example
Is it a field or a variable?
IF FIELDNUM("cName") > 0.
REPLACE cName WITH UPPER(cName).
ELSE.
cName := UPPER(cName).
ENDIF
