I have a table that I need to test for two different situations. First
if the lookup fails and secondly if the record I am looking to is
locked. This is the first time I am using the locked command and I am
getting an unexpected result in the following test table:
1 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If:
Then: end
2 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
@KEYT If:
Then: AA(4,ALLUP)="OC "
3 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If:
Then: lookup req = labelreq k=AA i=A -npxw
4 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If: not req
Then: beep;msgbox "\r Patient group OC not found";end
5 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If: LOCKED(req)
Then: beep;msgbox "\r Patient group OC is locked";end
6 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If:
Then: end
If I am not in update mode on patient group OC I get no error message as
expected. However, if I am in update mode on record OC the error
message I receive is line 4 - Patient group not found and not the
expected message found on line 5. Do I need to rearrange the tests
being performed on lines 4 & 5 or do I have something wrong on my lookup
flags. I see in the help files & on-line manual that I must use the -p
& -w flags. This is my first use of the -w flag. fP v5.0.6DN9 on
WIN98SE laptop. This programming will be used on a WIN2000 Advanced
Server network with WIN2000 & XP Prof. clients.
