Basic and Crystal syntax.

Returns

None

Action

Specifies that the formula is to be evaluated before the database records are read.

Typical uses

Formulas are normally evaluated at the following times:

BeforeReadingRecords forces the formula to be evaluated before the program reads database records. When this function is used in a formula, the Formula Checker returns an error message if you attempt to include elements in the formula (database fields, groups, etc.) that must be evaluated at a later time (while reading or while printing records).

Examples

The following example is applicable to Crystal syntax:

BeforeReadingRecords;

ToNumber ("12345")

Forces the formula (which contains no database or group fields), to be evaluated before reading records.

Note:    If you try to include a database field or group in this formula, you will get an error message.
