RECORD OF * EXISTS

[Mike Palandri]

I have used "exists" to test for the presence of a record that was linked 
optionally, in quiz or qtp, e.g.:

access filea link to fileb opt
def msg char*30 = "match found" if record fileb exists &
                         else "no matching fileb record found"


If in Quick, I generally end up with something like this, using your example:


>FIELD T_ITEM_ABC
>
>   PROCEDURE DESIGNER RECOFWHAT
>   BEGIN
>     ACCEPT T_ITEM_ABC
>     GET FILE_ABC VIA ITEM_ABC USING T_ITEM
>     IF ACCESSOK
>       THEN INFO "Found the file." NOW RESP
>   END
