Description
The READMODE() function returns a character string describing the 'read' mode for the currently active form. Any of the following strings can be returned.
| Readmode | Description |
|---|---|
| READ | READ command is active |
| EDIT | EDIT command is active |
| CHANGE | CHANGE command is active |
| INSERT | INSERT command is active |
| QUERY | QUERY command is active |
| APPEND | APPEND command is active |
| No form active |
The READMODE() function always returns a character string in upper case. This function is very useful when used in table and form triggers for determining the current read state for conditional coding.
Example
// Pre-record trigger procedure procedure form_trigger if readmode() = "APPEND" return else //...commands endif return use accounts set form to details set prerecord to form_trigger edit
