FT_SAVEARR

Posted on by vivaclipper 
 FT_SAVEARR()
 Save Clipper array to a disc file.

 Syntax

      FT_SAVEARR( <aArray>, <cFileName>, <nErrorCode> ) -> lRet

 Arguments

     <aArray> is any Clipper array except those containing
     compiled code blocks.

     <cFileName> is a DOS file name.

     <nErrorCode> will return any DOS file error.

     All arguments are required.

 Returns

     .F. if there was a DOS file error or the array contained
     code blocks, otherwise returns .T.

 Description

     FT_SAVEARR() saves any Clipper array, except those
     containing compiled code blocks, to a disc file.  The
     array can be restored from the disc file using
     FT_RESTARR().

     This function does not appear to work with multi-dimensional
     arrays.  If you'd care to modify it to support this feature,
     please do and send it to Glenn Scott 71620,1521.]

 Examples

    aArray := { {'Invoice 1',CTOD('04/15/91'),1234.32,.T.},;
                {'Invoice 2',DATE(),234.98,.F.},;
                {'Invoice 3',DATE() + 1,0,.T.}  }
    nErrorCode := 0
    FT_SAVEARR(aArray,'INVOICE.DAT',@nErrorCode)
    IF nErrorCode = 0
      aSave := FT_RESTARR('INVOICE.DAT',@nErrorCode)
      IF nErrorCode # 0
         ? 'Error restoring array'
      ENDIF
    ELSE
      ? 'Error writing array'
    ENDIF
