Hi All,
I got a good response the last time I posted an undocumented feature so I thought I would try it again.

The Type() function is a powerful little item. The VFP help gives a thorough listing of the return values:
Character C
Numeric (also float, double, and integer) N
Currency Y
Date D
DateTime T
Logical L
Memo M
Object O
General G
Screen (created with SAVE SCREEN) S
Undefined type of expression U

Or at least I thought it was thorough. It can also return an A for array. The example I use involves using ADSI.

lcADSIObj = "WinNT://mymachine/me"
ouser = getobject(lcADSIObj)
lcschema = ouser.Schema
oschema = getobject(lcschema)
if vartype(ouser) = "O" then
   * check to make sure the array property is not empty
   * TYPE() returns 'A' for non-empty COM arrays (from observation)
   if type("oSchema.MandatoryProperties") = "A" then
      for each oProperty in oSchema.MandatoryProperties
         ? oProperty + " - " + transform(ouser.get(oProperty))
      endfor
   endif
endif

Is this C++ thing again? Do you think it's a prblem with the documentation or a problem with te Type() function itself.

Thoughts? Comments?
