Problem with Syntax
Publicado: Mar Ago 16, 2022 6:54 pm
Having used Clipper87 up to 1999 and then shifting to MS Access, which I have used since then. It is my intention is to try Xailer as an Access alternative. I recall that * will Rem a line but some of the other syntax I just haven't come across before and internet searches aren't helpful. Mainly I think that today more emphasis is on showing advertising rather than helping.
I cannot find anything on syntax for Xbase code on Xharbour or harbour sites, and it appears nothing on this is in the HELP file or PDF Manual for Xailer.
For instance; what is the :: and the : used for? What about the [ ] etc, etc
Presumably the :: and : are used in identification but I cannot find any syntax rules? I've seen some variables prefixed with just : and others with :: then others with no prefix.
I presume that ::Varname1:Varname2 is similar to the ! and . identifiers used in Access? Form!Form1.VarName or Forms![MainForm]![SubForm].Form![VarName] etc used to identify a variable on a form, or to refer to it from another form or SQL query.
Is there somewhere that I can refer to for the Xailer syntax rules?
Many thanks,
