Hi Stephen,

Search the docs for "empty". It will show you things like

put empty into x
set the cProp to empty

So, you will also want to read up on "put" and "set".

There is also a function "variableNames", which will probably be very useful to you. Why do you want to check for the existence of a variable? I do this very, very rarely and only in really advanced projects.

Really two questions:

How do I check if a variable is empty? Sort of like;

If !empty(tUsername)
   // process here
Endif

Empty() is a Foxpro function that pops if what you are checking is empty. I can’t seem to find it’s equivalent in revolution. Am I approaching this the
wrong way? And can I check fields the same way?

I suppose I could create an empty variable and just compare the 2? But is
there an easier way?

Next question; checking the existence of a variable? Now I know I can turn on Strict Compilation (and I have) but I’d rather have the assurance of checking to see if a variable exist? Is this a non-issue in Revolution?

Thanks
