In my earlier reply, I indicated 'mulitple' was not related to data type.  But Cameron raises an interesting point in looking at it as a data type.  Hmm  I guess you could consider 'table' (or 'file') as a data type, even though FM doesn't label it that way. Schlehuber, Cameron wrote: T

Cameron, I think an example is helpful. Here is menu option #10 zwr ^DIC(19,10,*) ^DIC(19,10,0)="XUPROG^Programmer Options^^M^1^XUPROG^^^n^^" ^DIC(19,10,1,0)="^^1^1^2930723" ^DIC(19,10,1,0,"LE")=1 ^DIC(19,10,1,1,0)="This menu is used by programmers." ^DIC(19,10,10,0)="^19.01IP^6^6" ^DIC(

The fact that the data type is pointer has no relationship to the field being multiple.  Type and frequency are different ideas. So a multiple pointer field has the potential to have several instances of a pointer value.  But that pointer value can only point to one file record and not a sub-fi

Greg, Thanks for your answer. I am confused, though, about the POINTER issue. FIELD^DID says that the multiple field is of type POINTER. Yet you say that pointers can not point to subfiles. Are you sure on that point? Thanks Kevin --- Greg Kreis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Furthermore

Actually, you can "point" to a sub-file using the Variable-Pointer data type! An example of the internal value looks like this: 456;DIC(19,123,10, Interpreted by FileMan that's menu Item 456 in Option 123. ... But I don't recommend doing that even though FM won't complain. The point to be made he
