Save queries in VFP


How to save queries on disk.I use the TO clause(example:SELECT * FROM vendors TO w.qpr).Everything works,but when I run the query with DO i receive the following error: http://s52.radikal.ru/i138/1201/2f/15765ffe2346.png And what should I change in order to obtain the query like in query designer,I mean that the query should appear in browse window,but using the command mode. Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • The TO clause is for storing the results of the query, not the query itself. (And, TO is a VFP extension; INTO is preferred.)

    If you want to save the query, open up a PRG file (MODIFY COMMAND) and write the query there, then save it.

    If you simply omit the TO or INTO clause, the query results will appear in a BROWSE window. Alternatively, use INTO CURSOR and give a cursor name, then issue BROWSE to browse the cursor.
