initializes to <br>

whether you'd get dictionary initial values as well.<br>

The context and usage of the item should tell you why the ITEM statement <br>

Maybe this is used to cancel the automatic item initialization that <br>
Qdesign would generate for items in secondary and detail files which have <br>
the same names as items in the primary file?<br>

Subject: Quick (As in QDESIGN) Question:<br>
<br>
<br>
OK, folks:<br>
<br>
It's been a long week, but I came across this construct in a relatively <br>
mature (13+ years of age) Quick screen:<br>
<br>
Item LAST_THERAPY_SEQ_NBR of PARTICIPANTS<br>
<br>
Note there is no value or variable assigned, just the "ITEM" and
that is <br>
that.<br>
<br>
Curious. I think I know the answer, but can anybody splain what the system <br>
will assign?<br>
<br>
More of a qquestion is why anybody would write code like this.... Nother <br>
story.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
John M Penney<br>
