SetValue Procedure

It is often desirable to put a set value into the same field for all records in a group of records. The procedure "Setvalue" accomplished it. The procedure is attached to the Ledger.vfm file. To activate the procedure from the Patient Ledger follow these steps:

Press <Alt+F1>

Select item #10 - "Choose other VersaForm Procedures" - Press <Enter>

At the "?" prompt type "setvalue" and press <Enter> (or press <Enter>, locate the "setvalue" procedure on the list, highlight it and then press <Enter>)

At the next prompt about selecting the field to be set press <Enter>

You will be presented with a blank copy of the file/record (for example "Ledger").

Move the cursor to the field in the record you want to use (for example "St") and then press <X>

At the next prompt put in the value you want to have placed in this field (for example "NJ") and press <Enter>

You will then be prompted to confirm the replacement. Press "Y" or "N" as appropiate and then press <Enter>.

If you selected "Y" then the value will be placed in the selected field for each record in the database.
