"PATROL" is the same as .NULL.???

Author: Vince Teachout

Posted: 2016-06-13 10:13:42   Link

I have a departments table, and when I open it in browse mode, and type

the following:

BROWSE FOR vehdept = 'PATROL'

It pulls up a single record, which has .NULL. in the vehdept field.

There are other records with .NULL. in that field, but it only pulls up

this one. ? IsnNull(VehDept) returns .t., so it's not a case of a

string ".NULL." (Which shouldn't match either.)

Luckily, this isn't anything I was actually working on, just something I

came across while trying to transfer data. But.... any ideas what could

cause this?

If the record doesn't appear with

BROWSE FOR vehdept = 'PATROL' NOOPTIMIZE

then it's a corrupt index file.

It does appear with NOOPTIMIZE. Also, there are no indexes on that file.

That wouldn't happen to be the current record when you do the browse, would

it?
