Description

The propagateup statement fills all the empty cells in the current field. Each empty cell is filled with the value of the first non-empty cell below it. The difference between this statement and the propagate statement is that propagateup scans the database upwards, from bottom to top.

This example fills any empty dates with the date from the next record.
