Beakman<\/a> was wondering why I was not posting for the past three days before yesterday.<\/p>\n

And just recently, I received a related inquiry from someone in India.<\/p>\n

Aside from the fact that I refrain from posting those I’ll-be-out-in-N-days\/weeks-no-blogs-blah-blah(who-cares-who-fsckin’-cares) type of scribbles in here, I am also finishing up modules for two of my projects<\/a>… HRAEI and SJH.<\/p>\n

(HRAEI is an employee-related databanking system (201<\/font>) for education-type institutions and companies while SJH involves medical history and records.)<\/p>\n

HRAEI, in the future will probably be used in some places in this country separated by islands, so making things ‘archipelago-ready’ is something I am planning in advance. I’ll discuss that one later.<\/p>\n

For those three days, I’ve been extending the working hours to 4:45<\/font>AM instead of the usual 3<\/font>AM limit… which was really 5:30<\/font>AM since it was only yesterday that I discovered that the clock in this computer is 45<\/font> minutes late.<\/p>\n

No wonder I’m beginning to see things.<\/p>\n

But I created and posted a one-time blog at TheSpoke.NET<\/a>. The reasons are there so I won’t bother re-posting things in here. If I’ll do that, we’ll have this spaghetti-type of codes already.<\/p>\n

Blogs are like Procedures and Functions you know. Well at least that’s how I see it sometimes. Instead of answering queries again and again, I fire up this blog, post some info and link the one questioning to a certain part of this blog that answers his questions.<\/p>\n

OK… it is 3:33<\/font>AM already… I need to crash.<\/p>\n

But before that, allow me to leave you one snippet of the dawn:<\/p>\n

   do while not eof() 
\r\n      for i = 1 to nCount
\r\n         cSTAT = 'PERSPOGR.STATUS' + NUMTOSTR(i, 2)
\r\n         cSTAL = 'PERSPOGR.STATUS_' + NUMTOSTR(i, 2)
\r\n         aSTAT(i) = &cSTAT
\r\n         lStat = iif(aSTAT(i) != '00000', .T., .F.)
\r\n         replace &cSTAL with lStat
\r\n      endfor 
\r\n      skip
\r\n   enddo<\/font><\/pre>\n
\nOne of those little macro hacks of the night. (Storing the values in the array has some purpose which is not included anymore in the above snippet.)<\/p>\n
I’m just showing here how an nCount*N lines of code can be squeezed into a factor of nCount by using macro substitution and by having good naming conventions in your field names, object names and variables.<\/p>\n
WildFire here… over and out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
