Hi,

The way to populate an array from a current cursor is as follows:
local array aDbfStruct[1]
afields( aDbfStruct )
But if you are using a SQL Server Native Client, some fields (e.g. Varchar(MAX) fields) will have the length 0.
So, I need to remove these elements from the array aDbfStruct. Or exclude these elements when creating another cursor using the code:
create cursor CUR_MYCURSOR from array aDbfStruct
How do you remove all elements from the above array which have element 3 equal to 0 (zero)? Or, can the above CREATE CURSOR be modified to ignore the "bad" fields?

UPDATE: I can scan the array and check each element 3 for a value of 0 and delete it. But I thought maybe there is a more efficient way to delete those elements.

TIA
