Thank you, but ...
I do not think of the above as particularly clever; it is simply something that I worked out to avoid nulls. I happened to think that way; you did not. With something else, it may go the other way. Because we can communicate our discoveries/solutions/what-have-yous, we each end up with more as a result.
This is a big reason why I like forums and lists.
On another point, I had an icase() function about five years before Microsoft added it to VFP. Except for that Microsoft's version has selected parameter evaluation and mine has all parameters evaluated -- not something programmers can control in the VFP language -- our icase()s work the same.
I wonder if Microsoft came up with the idea themselves -- not that difficult; it seemed obvious to me -- or glommed onto my idea (which I had posted publicly). Either way is fine with me, just as I do not mind anyone using the above bit of code.
Sincerely,
