[RBASE-L] - RE: Follow-Up to Multi-Page FORM Question andSKIP ...

[Javier Valencia]

Steve: Forget about what the manual says, in many cases they vary from version to version and sometimes they are no correct. You can easily test the behavior of the SKIP command:   Create a file test.rmd as follows:   -- file test.rmd EDIT USING your_form_name RETURN   At the R> prompt run: TRACE test.rmd   It should go through all the EEPs that you access while navigating through your form. If the SKIP command goes through the EEP in question, it will display it, if it “jumps” directly to the field, then you will not see the EEP.

Steve in Memphis, In an exit eep on a field, the SKIP TO and SKIP n commands move directly to the specified target and do not move "through" any fields in the tab order in between.  That is, it is a "jump."
