How to Append Records from One Remote View to Another

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b

SUMMARY

Microsoft Visual FoxPro allows you to append records from one remote view to another as long as the source target databases do not contain general fields and the field names in the source and target databases are identical.

MORE INFORMATION

The following code example shows how to append records from one remote view to another. To demonstrate this code, create two remote views (source and target) that contain fields of identical names. Copy the following code into an empty program file (.PRG), and run it:

SELECT view1 && view1 is the name of the view pointing to the source file SCAN

   SCATTER MEMVAR MEMO
   SELECT view2  && view2 is the name of the view pointing to the target
                 && file
   APPEND BLANK
   GATHER MEMVAR MEMO
   SELECT view1
