Description
The FIELDINFO() function is used to return a string containing comma-separated information about a specified field <expN1> in the currently selected table or the workarea/cursor numbered <expN2>. Fields are numbered from 1 to FLDCOUNT() according to their position in the table structure.
If <expN1> exceeds the number of fields in the table, or there is no currently selected table or no table open in workarea <expN2>, then FIELDINFO() returns a null string.
Otherwise, the information string is structured as follows:
# | Value |
---|---|
1 | Field name |
2 | Field type |
3 | Field width |
4 | Field decimals |
5 | Field description |
6 | Field default value |
7 | Field picture value |
8 | Field choices value |
9 | Field validation expression |
10 | Field validation error text |
11 | Field help/tooltip text |
12 | Field mandatory ("1" if True) |
13 | Field autoinc ("1" if True) |
