Packages  Description
Using low-level file functions, this opens a dbf table and reads the records. The records are imported into an array. The operation obeys SET DELETED so ignores deleted records when appropriate. The returned array also contains the structure of the table.

This is a useful routine if you need to:

  • Recover a damaged table
  • Want to load a table into an array for picklists etc.

The routine does not open MEMO files, and gracefully ignores memo field data in the man table.
