Description

The BETWEEN() function returns true (.T.) if the value of a specified expression lies in the range delimited by two other expressions all of the same data type. The BETWEEN() function operates on Character, Date and Numeric expressions.

Parameters Description
<exp1> The expression to be checked.
<exp2> Expression representing the range minimum.
<exp3> Expression representing the range maximum.

The <exp1> must be equal to or more than <exp2> and equal to or less than <exp3> for BETWEEN() to return true (.T). If <exp1> is not within this range, BETWEEN() returns false (.F.).

Example

? between(date(),date()-10,date()+10)
.T.
? between("A", "A", "Z")
.T.
? between(10,1,9)
.F.
