The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SUMMARY

When issuing a GET on a logical field, you can display a "Y" or "N" instead of a ".T." or ".F.". You can also do this when using logical fields in the report writer.

MORE INFORMATION

To display a "Y" or "N" when issuing a GET on a logical field, use the PICTURE "Y" clause. For example:

   @1,1 GET <logical var> PICTURE "Y"

To display a "Y" or "N" in a report in place of a logical field, edit the logical field in the report and place a "Y" (with the quotation marks) in the format option for that field.
