Hi from Paris,
Jacqueline,
Did I correctly understand what you put in your recent post :
And if literal
names are not quoted, the engine takes twice as long to execute the
statement because of the additional lookup.
Do you mean that the statement :
If field "MyField" = "YES" then .......
executes twice as fast as :
If field MyField = "YES" then .......
Yes, that is what I meant. But Dave Cragg disproved my theory, since
apparently the engine works at the same speed in either case (but I am
still having trouble believing it; it seems counter-intuitive.) I think
it is better scripting form to quote literals in any case though. It
saves misinterpretation later on when you re-read your scripts, and in
some cases could prevent the engine from mis-interpreting your literal
values as variable names.
