Ok. (he just pulls his foot from his mouth) It does walk. I was testing this
yesterday when I
couldn't get a choose with Type convesion function to work properly, so I used the
type Conversion
in a select to build a menu file on disk and forgot to turn headings off and ended up
with garbage
in the menu file and it didn't walk correctly. This morning I found the garbage and
removed it and
tried the file again, but (I know you will find this almost "Impossible To Believe") ,
I forgot to
set Walk on again. !:-o
So the workaround is:
Set Head Off
out test.mnu
wri '$MENU'
wri 'POPUP ||'
select ('|' + (ctxt((Float(Curramt)))) + '|' ) fro SomeTable wher SomeWhereClause
wri 'ENDC'
out scr
Set Head ON
cho vcho fro Test.mnu
ret
Using Float negates the need to mess with the Currency symbol.
Mike.
