Yes, but depending on your needs, you may want to write a UDF to change some defaults. For instance, you may not always want to display .T. as ".T.", and .F. as ".F.".
For a start, let's assume you want to show .T. as "Yes", .F. as "No", and use the transform() standards for all other purposes. You also want to accomodate null values:
function ConvertToChar(txValue)
do case
case isnull(txValue)
return "???"
case type("txValue") = "L"
return iif(txValue, "Yes", "No")
otherwise
return transform(txValue)
endcaseIf you later see that you need additional exceptions to the standard format, add your CASEs into this function.
