I recall when they added the ability to do a RECALC VAR of particular variables. But I never heard that the command itself was obsolete. I still use it for new forms I design

SET VAR vName = NULL - to null a variable at the tail end of any "looping" code segment, anticipating generation of a new value, and ... CLEAR VAR [ v% | vName_1 ... vName_n ] where there is but a limited number of variables, local to a routine, before the RETURN, or ... CLEAR ALL VAR EXCEPT gv% where a large number of variables, local to a routine, may be safely dispatched; while preserving the state of "global" variables, which must persist throughout an R:BASE session. I "kinda" share your recollection re: RECALC VAR. Anyone? Much appreciation, and warmest (July) regards, Bruce Bruce A.

I am not sure if SET VAR = NULLIs what you have in your code but the preferred/correct way is:SET VAR vMy_Variable TYPE = NULWhere “TYPE” is the type of your variable such as INT and so onNext,RECALC VARto the best of my recollection, stopped working a while back and now you have to specify the variable or variables you want recalculated:RECALC VAR vMy_VariableIt is better coding practice anyway and easier to debug/TRACE since you can see if the value is being changed. I recall running into this specific problems but the changes above took care of it.

You and Buddy are spot-on with RECALC VAR. I suppose it helps that I NOT type RECALC VARS, which is why the mystery persisted beyond reason yesterday. So, uh, I need to tighten my game. Apologies. As for Forms of any stripe, I'm late to the party. But I like the idea, certainly in this early experimentation period, of total flexibility in inputting, until I have half a clue as to what I'm doing. Always appreciate your help and experience, Bruce Bruce A.

Bruce: I do something like what you want, but with one difference. I design "search" forms all the time where there's a bunch of variable edits. Users type in values and it displays a grid with results of the search. I always put a "new search" button on the form that clears all those variables so the user can type in a new search. All those variable edit fields are now blank. This is the exact code from the button: SET VAR vSBLNo INT = NULL, vSPick INT = NULL, vBLWhere TEXT = 'LIMIT = 0', + vSTranDate1 DATE = NULL, vSTranDate2 DATE = NULL, vSAcctNo INT = NULL, + vCAcctNo INT = NULL RECALC VAR I've never had this NOT work. The difference: don't ask me why, but I have never used a "variable form". Never. I always bind the form to a table, usually a "FormDummy" table that has a couple useless rows.

On closer inspection, after I sent my message, I TRACED the variable subset as its values were NULLed just before the SETFOCUS. The RECALC VAR has no effect on this: What is in fact happening is that the DISPLAY of those variable values is not being cleared from their Variable Edit controls during the rotation. But when I Tab away from the first control in the Tab Order [a Variable Radio Group - one of the retained values ], the VE controls for the NULLed variables go blank, as intended. So the real question is: How does one blank the display of now-NULLed previous values within their associated controls? Much appreciated! Bruce A.

Bruce Have you tried RECALC VAR after settling them to null and before the setfocus BuddySent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2020, at 6:24 PM, Bruce Chitiea <[email protected]> wrote: RGBX5E Current Fairly new to Forms. A Variable Form provides values to an On Click EEP in a Bit Button. The EEP succeeds at its tasks, then returns FOCUS to the first control in the Form's Tab Order, as intended. One subset of variable values survive the rotation, as intended. A second subset of variable values must be NULLed during the rotation, so that their associated controls are blank when the Form reappears. I've failed to clear this latter group of values, variably using CLEAR VAR and SET VAR = NULL commands: (a) ahead of the SETFOCUS at the tail end of the Bit Button's On Click EEP; (b) in the Bit Button's On Exit EEP; (c) in the On After Start EEP of the form itself. It's gottta be something basic. What is the established procedure for clearing a subset of variable values when rotating directly back into a form from a prior instance?
