You can use EDIT to get quotes to values.

-SET &ECHO='ON';
-SET &RTFM = ITALY;
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST
WHERE COUNTRY EQ &RTFM.QUOTEDSTRING
ON TABLE HOLD

Too subtle for me. But Google told me what RTFM meant. Thanks to ABT to help slow minded Cordially and Slow Mindedly PS : I wouldn't name a Field DATE if I were giving examples to a NewComer. (I used to be a famous player in "the Dinner Game")

Ths is a complete sidebar, but when the heck is DevStudio going to get Intellisense / type ahead / code complete? I am envious of the Microsoft tools for this.
I'll be the first to say that i personally didn't know there was a QUOTEDSTRING method, but if there was intellisense you;d see it and every other available property.
,but I agree with you, some more intelligence would be very much welcome

If you need point and click and "autocomplete" then you don't know the language.

I have to agree with Fred and ABT. Some more intenlligence would definitely be appreciated by most developers. Autocomplete is the one I would prefer the most. Autocomplete helps you to develope quicker and does not mean that you don't know the language!!!!!

Conthe contrary, it creates an environment of assumptions, and you could end up with code that you don't want if you're not checking what its "autocompleting".
Perhaps its just the option of a bit of a programming dinosaur. I always hated predictive test stuff in mobile phones.
