Yes, help is little bit misleading because it doesn't mention a string but command does output result to a string if 'TO VarName' is specified. The PRETEXT clause is covered in the help. PRETEXT 7 = 1+2+3, is combination of all avaialble values.

>I was trying it in VFP 8. I looked in the help file, and could find nothing on the pretext 7. In the help file, it also says that the text is output to a file, window, or printer. Which is not what I want. I need it to be a variable string that I can send through T-SQL.
