#include example

You may want to set up a standard include file that you use in all your script files that contains manifest constants and macro-functions that you use through your application. For example:

// Std.h

#include "VDBASE.H" // Contains #defines for enums

#define CONFIRM(m,t) (msgbox(m,t,4+32)==BUTTON_YES)

Place the STD.H file in dBASE Plus’s INCLUDE subdirectory so that it’s easily accessible. Then at the top of every program, #include that file:

#include "STD.H"

...

if CONFIRM( "This record will be lost forever! You sure?", "Delete" )
