Re: Clear entire field vs substring

Booth,

Yes, doing EVAL does an initialize + assign. If the target (workfield, in
this case) is varying, the initialize simply consists of setting the length
to 0. If the target isn't a varying field, the initialize clears the target.

When one does:
workfield = ShortField;

doesn't that clear the entire 2000 character workfield field?

(I understood that eval does not work like MOVE and MOVEL. Did I
understand wrong?)
