Description

The @...SAY commands which reference field values in a format file are not usually updated as you page up and down a table while editing. This occurs by design to stop unnecessary terminal output overhead. The SET PCSAYS command allows for dBASE compatibility with updating @...SAYs when paging through the records in a format file. When PCSAYS is set ON, @...SAY commands are redisplayed on the screen while paging up and down the table. If PCSAYS is OFF, then @...SAY commands are not updated. This command has been added to aid in the porting of applications that use this feature. By default, PCSAYS is OFF.


Example

set pcsays on
