Navigation: Language Reference > App C - PROP: Runtime Properties > Runtime VIEW and FILE Properties >====== PROP:Text (MEMO/BLOB Property) ======

An array property of a FILE that sets or returns the specified MEMO or BLOB field's data. MEMO and BLOB controls are negatively numbered, therefore the array element number must be a negative value. MEMO and BLOB declarations begin with -1 and decrement by 1 for each subsequent MEMO and BLOB, in the order in which they appear within the FILE structure.

Example:

MemoText STRING(2000)

Customer FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),PRE(CUS)

Notes MEMO(2000)

Record RECORD

Name STRING(20)

. .

CODE

OPEN(Customer)

SET(Customer)

NEXT(Customer)

ASSERT(~ERRORCODE())

Memotext = Customer{PROP:Text,-1}
