Purpose

Enable or disable data carry over to the new record added to the table


Syntax

SET CARRY ON | OFF | (<expL>)


See Also

APPEND, APPEND BLANK, Function Keys, INSERT, SET FORMAT


Description

If SET CARRY is ON then the contents of the previously accessed record are carried over to the next one during the APPEND and INSERT commands. If SET CARRY is ON, the contents of the current record will be included in the new record created with the APPEND BLANK, APPEND BLANK <expN>, INSERT BLANK or INSERT BEFORE commands. Alternatively, when the APPEND or INSERT screens are active, pressing the [CARRY MODE] key toggles CARRY ON and OFF from within the form. By default, CARRY is OFF.

Values for specified fields can be pre-defined in the Applications Data Dictionary with the DEFAULT option. However, these default values will be overwritten if SET CARRY is ON.


Example

set carry on
use patrons
append
