Also interesting is that this code works

*-- returns .T.
c_ScanCursor.dDateField - dDate2Match = 0

c_ScanCursor is readwrite cursor created from an sql query


there is code to insert a record if the reccount("c_ScanCursor") = 0
like this


if reccount("c_ScanCursor") = 0
m.dDateField = dDate2Match
* other memvars
* other memvars

insert into c_ScanCursor from memvar
endif


then the comparison takes place inside a scan loop
