Description
When SCHEDULE is set ON, the pop-up time management schedule is activated when the [HELP] key is pressed on a date field or memory variable. The time management schedule uses a table with the field name that the [HELP] key was pressed on. If no table of that name can be found then one is automatically created with associated index and memo file.
The SET SCHEDULE TO <.sdb filename> allows you to specify the name of the schedule table that will be opened when the [HELP] key is pressed. If no file extension is specified, ’.dbf’ is used. The table structure of the schedule table contains 25 fields as follows:
| Name | Type | Width | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| DATE | Date | 8 | Current date |
| DETAIL8AM | Character | 35 | Details for 8 am |
| MEMORIAM | Memo | Unlimited | Full details for 8am |
