Description

The MTOS() function converts the memo field <memofield> to a character data type. This function is particularly useful for modifying fields globally. If the specified <memofield> is empty, the MTOS() function returns a null string ("").


Example

set memoformat off
string = mtos(notes)
string = string + chr(10) + "AT" + date() +" " + time()
replace notes with string
