Min()

MIN()

Determines the minumum of two numbers or dates.

Syntax

      MIN( <xValue>, <xValue1> )  --> <xMin>

Arguments

<xValue> Any date or numeric value.

<xValue1> Any date or numeric value.

Returns

<xMin> The smaller numeric (or earlier date) value.

Description

This function returns the smaller of the two passed espressions. <xValue> and <xValue1> must be the same data type. If numeric, the smaller number is returned. If dates, the earlier date is returned.

Examples

      ? MIN( 214514214, 6251242142 )
      ? MIN( STOD( "20001111" ), STOD( "20140621" ) )

MAX()

Max()

MAX()

Returns the maximum of two numbers or dates.

Syntax

      MAX( <xValue>, <xValue1> )  --> <xMax>

Arguments

<xValue> Any date or numeric value.

<xValue1> Any date or numeric value (same type as <xValue>).

Returns

<xMax> The larger numeric (or later date) value.

Description

This function returns the larger of the two passed espressions. If <xValue> and <xValue1> are numeric data types, the value returned by this function will be a numeric data type as well and will be the larger of the two numbers passed to it. If <xValue> and <xValue1> are date data types, the return value will be a date data type as well. It will be the later of the two dates passed to it.

Examples

      ? MAX( 214514214, 6251242142 )
      ? MAX( STOD( "20001111" ), STOD( "20140621" ) )

 MAX() 
 Return the larger of two numeric or date values
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     MAX(<nExp1>, <nExp2>) --> nLarger
     MAX(<dExp1>, <dExp2>) --> dLarger

 Arguments

     <nExp1> and <nExp2> are the numeric values to be compared.

     <dExp1> and <dExp2> are the date values to be compared.

 Returns

     MAX() returns the larger of the two arguments.  The value returned is
     the same type as the arguments.

 Description

     MAX() is a numeric and date function that ensures the value of an
     expression is larger than a specified minimum.  The inverse of MAX() is
     MIN(), which returns the lesser of two numeric or date values.

 Examples

     .  In these examples MAX() returns the greater of two numeric
        values:

        ? MAX(1, 2)                     // Result: 2
        ? MAX(2, 1)                     // Result: 2

     .  In these examples MAX() compares date values:

        ? DATE()                           // Result: 09/01/90
        ? MAX(DATE(), DATE() + 30)         // Result: 10/01/90
        ? MAX(DATE(), CTOD(""))            // Result: 09/01/90

Directory List

Reinvention of wheel ?

Not quite …

Main difference is allowing file(s) and folder(s) selection together.

Another difference is implementing of <lNoChangeDir> parameter. Unlike GetFile(), GetDIRList() uses this value  for allowing change directory ability to user.

Furthermore sorting grid columns by three (not two) ways, GetVolumLabel(), List2Arry() and Arry2List()  functions may be useful.

Also, test program ( TestGDL.prg ) may be a sample for .fmg based application.
