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:

The index key is a date that is defined in the index file of the same name of the schedule table. If EXCLUSIVE is set OFF, the time management schedule table is opened shareable with automatic record locking.
