Title: Does this make sense?
Post by: Columbo on August 18, 2014, 05:04:10 PM
Quoting from Database section of the IWBasic Beginner's eBook:

Quote
The subroutine is written to both copy data to the variables from the screen and from the screen to the variables. This time we are reading from the screen to the variables so we call CopyData with an argument of ‘0’.

Does this make sense?

I am going to guess that it should actually read "The subroutine is written to both copy data to the variables from the screen and from the variables to the screen".

If this is correct the can I assume that if we are reading from the variables to the screen that we would use an argument of '1'?

Thanks

mistake in eBook.

Your assumption is correct..

look at the addressbook.iwb example of the CopyData subroutine to verify your assumption.
