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
