91 CHANGED: @...GET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. VALID and RANGE: In Clipper 5.0, the VALID and RANGE clauses
are mutually exclusive (i.e., you cannot specify both in the
same command).
2. Invalid dates: In Summer '87, entering an invalid date
cleared the date field and homed the cursor. Pressing Esc left
the field display blank, but the original value was restored to
the Get variable. In Clipper 5.0, the cursor stays in the date
field at the current position so the field can be edited, but
the field is not cleared. Pressing Esc to quit the READ
restores the initial value in the display and the original value
is restored to the Get variable.
3. Pressing Esc: In Clipper 5.0, pressing Esc while SET ESCAPE
is ON not only restores the previous value for the current GET
variable but also redisplays the previous value on the screen.
Summer '87 did not redisplay the previous value.
4. Color behavior: In Clipper 5.0, the color of a Get variable
is fixed at the time of the @...GET. This means that when a
READ is executed the Get variable retains its original color.
5. Clipping behavior: In Summer '87, a Get variable that
attempted to display past column 80 wrapped to the next line.
In Clipper 5.0, a Get variable that attempts to display past
MAXCOL() is clipped.
