CompareLikeFields
Mon 01 January 2018Syntax
CompareLikeFields(from, to)
where from and to are constructions that reference rows of data on specific source and target records in the component buffer; each have the following syntax:
level, scrollpath, target_row
and where scrollpath is:
[RECORD.level1_recname, level1_row, [RECORD.level2_recname, level2_row, ]] RECORD.target_recname
To prevent ambiguous references, you can use SCROLL. scrollname , where scrollname is the same as the scroll levelâs primary record name.
Description
Use the CompareLikeFields function to compare fields in a row on a specified source record to similarly named fields on a specified target record.
Note: This function remains for backward compatibility only. Use the CompareFields record class method instead.
If all of the like-named fields have the same data value, CompareLikeFields returns True; otherwise it returns False.
