NAOVAZIO()AdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

This function does not take the value as an argument: it depends on the current editing variable or field. Documentation uses it in MSGET VALID. An isolated call with a number or string therefore does not represent its contract. (Sources: refs. 1–1.)

02 · SYNTAX

Syntax

NAOVAZIO() -> lOk

Return value

Logical result for current content in the validation context.
