Description

If SET PCGRAPHICS is ON, then IBM-PC line drawing graphics characters are mapped into the appropriate character sequence for the issuing terminal.

This command assists the portability of dBASE programs that use the line drawing characters of the IBM-PC, e.g., vertical lines, horizontal lines, box corners etc.

This command allows for the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned, PCGRAPHICS is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned, PCGRAPHICS is set OFF. By default PCGRAPHICS is OFF.
