restart question...

[Mike Schwartz]

     Since the list has been a little slow, I came across this line of code
that bothered me.  Before I rewrite it, I thought I would ask if I’m missing
something:

 

27  -------   -   -   -   -   -

      þ If: 94 eq ""

      Then: screen 3 81; restart

 

     Two things:

 

     There isn’t a comma between the 3 and 81.  I thought that would cause a
syntax error, but it passes.

 

     Does the “restart” have any effect at all?  I thought with a “screen”
command, processing immediately terminates and I would bet that this restart
really isn’t doing anything.  

 

     After a screen command, doesn’t the processing always “restart” at line
1 after the user presses ESC-ESC after filling in field 94?

 

     If it makes and difference, this is filePro version 5.0.14R4 running on
SCO Openserver 5.0.7

 

     The only reason I ask is that this code was written by a programmer I
really respect.  And no, I’m not going to mention any names.  However, I
suppose somebody could have mucked with the code after it was originally
written.  

 

Thanks!
