Hello:

I was looking over a program preparatory to an enhancement. I inserted a debugging browse statement in a branch that I was going to add some error reporting to. The branch, oddly, did not get executed. Dig, dig ...

use cwkf set filter to validto>={^2019.01.01} count browse

Lots of rows. Oh, the filter needs to be extended.

set filter to filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)"

VFP: Nice try. (Actually, "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword."

set filter to (filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)")

VFP: Don't be silly. (Same error.)

Putting an avaluate() around it does not work either. ("Syntax error.")

I do know that I can do f=filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)" set filter to &f but in the heat of debugging, I would prefer just one statement.

Is there a way to extend a filter in one statement without retyping the current filter expression?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
