SET LDCHECK

Enables or disables language driver ID checking.

Syntax

SET LDCHECK ON | off

Default

The default for SET LDCHECK is ON. To change the default, set the LDCHECK parameter in PLUS.ini.

Description

Use SET LDCHECK to disable or enable dBASE Plus' capability to check for language driver compatibility. This capability is important if you work with dBASE tables created with different dBASE configurations or different international versions of dBASE because it warns you of conflicting language drivers.

Language drivers determine the character set and sorting rules that dBASE Plus uses, so if you create a dBASE table with one language driver and then use that file with a different language driver, some of the characters will appear incorrectly and you may get incorrect results when querying data.
