Introduction Clipper enables you to program nested GET/READ masks. The functions in this chapter are retained in Clipper Tools for compatibility reasons and to make them easy to use. The active GET is saved with the help of a character string and restored through this string later. This allows you to newly query inputs without losing your main input mask. You can save KEYTRAP() definitions the same way and redefine them as you wish. Important! It is impossible to use the saved information any longer that the runtime of an application. The character string that results cannot be saved to a file and reloaded later. Other functions in this chapter return information about GET fields, such as screen position, the names of the accompanying variables, or information about whether a field is currently active.
