/*Kjartan and Armando,
Yes, the problem was indeed solved by Kjartan in the must direct and
simple way. Congratulations! I believe that Armando's comment is quite
pertinent, and even for non programmers guys like me I believe that
there is a lesson on it: It is possible to use GISDK functions directly
on a formula field and enhance the power of the available functions
listed on the Formula Builder. That I have never realized, not until
this moment.
Thanks both of you very much. But Armando, as a stubborn person, I will
like to have your macro working.
Cheers,
Reinaldo*/

Kjartan email is an opportune reminder of the kind of habits
programmers pick up during in our job :) :)
As a rule, before coding a loop through the records of a layer or
dataview, see if the same result can be achieved in terms of one or
more formula fields.

You can open a dataview on the area layer and create a formula
field with the expression:
GetPerimeter(ID)
Just like the Area field in the dataview, the units of this
formula field will be your current map preferences. Isn’t this
what you want?

*/Hello,
Please, I would like to know how is it possible to get the
corresponding perimeter of a bunch of polygons in a geographic files?
Thanks in advance. Any aid would be very much appreciated. Cheers,
