Description

If MEMOFORMAT is ON, the memo field is automatically formatted when it is saved. All the lines are word-wrapped into the field, and carriage returns are removed. Hard carriage returns may be retained by toggling Insert Mode ON before pressing the [RETURN] or [ENTER] key. When MEMOFORMAT is set OFF, this allows preformatted text to be held in the memo without it being reformatted as it is used. All spaces and carriage returns are stored in the memo field.

WARNING: Once a memo is saved with MEMOFORMAT set ON, all the formatting characters are removed. This command should always be left ON or OFF, not toggled. The default for SET MEMOFORMAT is OFF

Example

procedure edit_memo
  set memoformat off
  memoedit(comp_hist,5,10,20,70,(getuid()>100),"Company History")
return
