Commands in Foxpro

COMMANDS IN FOXPRO In foxpro first four characters of any command is enough to execute For e.g.:- crea ==> create TO OPEN THE DATABASE: Syn: use Ex: use book TO CLOSE THE DATABASE: Use To close the current opened database. Close all To close the all opened database. TO Create New DATABASE: Syn: crea create Ex: crea book

Modify Structure: Modify structure (Or) Modi stru APPEND

Append is used to add the new record. Syn: append [Blank] [From ] Ex Append Append Blank - To add blank records. Append from first.dbf - To add the records from FIRST.DBF to SECOND.DBF - Same Structure is required for these databases DISPLAY Used to display the particular record. Syn: Display [All] [Structure] [Status] [Memory] Ex: Display Display All Display All Records in page wise. To Display the structure of the databases: Display Structure To display the status of the set commands. Display Status To display the status of the system memory variables.

Display Memory To view the status bar Set stat on To edit the current Record Edit GO TOP Used to move the record pointer at the first record. GO BOTTOM: Used to move the record point at the last record. Go To go to a particular record Syn:- GO Eg:- GO 8 Go to record 8 List Used to list the records. Syn: list

To create new program or to edit the existing one. MODI COMM OR MODIFY COMMAND NOTE command If ignore the particular line or command, NOTE can be used at the beginning of that line. Comment Line

To add comments to the right of the Programming code , use && Clear All Command This command is used to closes all databases files and releases all active memory variables, arrays menus or popup. Input / Output command ? | ?? | ??? [expr1?] ? - To print the expression in new line ?? - To print the expression in the same line ??? - The Output will going to the printer Example: ? "Hellow!" Sample Program NOTE prg for just print something on the screen Clear && To Clear the Screen or previous outputs ?"Welcome" ?"Hellow!" ?? " World...!" ??? "Thank you” Writing Programs * FoxPro has powerful built-in editor for writing and editing. * It can be invoked from the command window by using the MODIFY COMMAND. Syntax: MODIFY COMMAND Example: Modify Command journal (This program will automatically save with the extension .PRG) Press CTRL + W - To save and close the program window Executing Program Programs can be executed by DO command. Syntax: DO Example: Do journal When compile the executed file the FoxPro creates an object code program with .FXP extension. If there are any errors, creates a file an .ERR extension. INPUT command It is used to accept Numeric input from the user and store it into a memory variable. Syntax: INPUT [] TO Example: Store 0 to eno

INPUT "Enter your Enrollment No : " TO eno ? Eno ACCEPT command It is used to accept character input from the user and store it into a memory variable. Syntax: ACCEPT [] TO Example: Store space (15) to NAM ACCEPT "Enter the Name: " to NAM ? "Entered name:” NAM Example 2 clear SET TALK OFF Accept "Enter your nane :" to nam Input "enter your Age : " to age Accept " enter your city :" to cit Accept "Enter your Mail id : " to mail ? "******************************************" ? "NAME :: " ,nam ? "AGE :: " ,age ? "CITY :: " ,cit ? "MAIL ID:: " ,mail ? "******************************************" Setting/restoring the environment Every FoxPro program includes all commands required to establish the working environment and restore it to its prior state before the program terminates execution. This is achieved by issuing some set. Set notify on/off Enables the display of certain system messages. Set talk window Directors the display of system messages to an user-defined window instead of the system window. Sets notify should be ON. Set deleted on/off Processes records marked for deletion.

commands. Data entry for tables can also be done through programs. There arises a need to display and accept information in a formatted way. The @…say command is used to place data at a particular screen location and to display data stored in fields or memory variables. The @…get commands is used to retrieve data. Displaying data @…say command: Syntax: @SAY [Function] [Picture] [size=40 Then @10,10 say " You have PASS" Endif If….else….endif:The commands between if…..end if will be executed only if condition is satisfied, otherwise the next statement is executed. For every if there must be an end if. Every is matched with the nearest unmatched if. Syntax:If Else End if Command sequence –1 will be executed if a condition is true, if condition is false command sequence-2 will be executed. Control falls to the next statement in either case, if program I still in execution. Example 2 clear Store 0 to x,y @5, 5 say " Enter the First value: " get x @7,5 say " Enter the Second value: " get y Read IF x > y Then @10, 10 say str(x) + “is Greater than” + ltrim (str(y))

Else @10, 10 say str(x) + " is lesser than " + ltrim (str(y)) Endif Example 3 clear Store space(1) to x,ch @5, 5 say " Enter any Alphabet: " get x Read ch =chr(asc(x) +32) && To convert Upper into Lower IF ch="a" .or. ch="e" .or. ch="i" .or. ch="o" .or. ch="u" then @10,10 say ch + " is a VOWEL " Else @10,10 say ch + " is a CONSONANT" Endif NESTED IF: (IF within IF) clear store 0 to x,y,z @5,5 say " Enter No1 : " get x @7,5 say " Enter No2 : " get y @9,5 say " Enter No3 : " get z Read If x > y then IF x>z then @ 15,5 say " X is Greater than y and z" Else @15,5 say "X is Greater than Y and Lesser than Z" Endif Else IF Y>Z then @ 15,5 say " Y is Greater than X and Z" Else @15,5 say "Y is Greater than X but not Z" Endif Endif DO CASE Case Commands are used to check for a specified condition Syntax: DO Case Case = Statement -1 Case =

Statement -2 Otheriwse Statement -3 End Case Example: clear store 0 to day @5,5 say " Enter any number from 1 to 7 " get day Read DO CASE case day = 1 @10,10 say "SUNDAY" case day = 2 @10,10 say "MONDAY" case day = 3 @10,10 say "TUESDAY" case day = 4 @10,10 say "WEDNESDAY" case day = 5 @10,10 say "THURSDAY" case day = 6 @10,10 say "FRIDAY" case day = 7 @10,10 say "SATURDAY" OTHERWISE @10,10 SAy "Invalid Input" EndCase FOR LOOP 

To repeatedly execute a series of lines in a Program.



The lines of code b/w FOR and ENDOFR will be executed until the memory to the final condition specified.



Default STEP value is 1.

Syntax FOR = TO STEP ................ ................ ENDFOR Example: 1

variable is equal

CLEAR FOR I = 1 TO 10 ?I EndFor Example: 2 To print the EVEN nos from 2 to 50 CLEAR FOR I = 2 TO 50 STEP 2 ?I EndFor
