fill
VALUE

The fill statement fills every visible cell in the active field with the specified value.


Parameters

This statement has one parameter:

value – the value you wish to put into the cells of the current field. The resulting value must match the type and format (if any) of the field you are placing it in.


Description

This statement fills every visible cell in the active field with the specified value. Warning: If a cell already has a value in it, fill will replace that value with the new one.

This simple example tells Panorama to clear all the selected cells of the active field. The active field may be a numeric, text or choice type field.

fill ""

This example fills all the selected cells of the active field with the text string n/a . Therefore, the active field should be a text or choice type field.

fill "n/a"

This example fills the numeric field Starting Value with the number 1200.

field  "Starting Value"
fill 1200

The fill statement fills every cell with the same value. If you want cells in different records to have different values, use the formulafill statement.
