IncOvFlwSym

Use this procedure/function to increment an overflow symbol. This procedure provides DAL with the Documaker Server equivalent to the IncOvFlwSym rule, with the exception that it will only increment by one.

Syntax

IncOvFlwSym (Form, Symbol)

Parameter

Description

Form

Enter the name of the form that contains the fields on which overflow processing will occur.

Symbol

Enter the name you want to use as the overflow symbol.

The system optionally returns one (1) on success or zero (0) on failure.

This procedure increments the value contained in the specified overflow symbol.

Example

Here is an example:

rc = IncOvFlwSym ("CP0101NL", "Loc_Cnt")

In this example, the overflow symbol, Loc_Cnt is incremented and the DAL integer variable, # rc, is set to one (1) on success or zero (0) on failure.
