DBSETDRIVER()
Return the default database driver and optionally set a new driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DBSETDRIVER([<cDriver>]) --> cCurrentDriver
Arguments
<cDriver> is an optional character value that specifies the name of
the database driver that should be used to activate and manage new work
areas when no driver is explicitly specified.
Returns
DBSETDRIVER() returns the name of the current default driver.
Description
DBSETDRIVER() sets the database driver to be used when activating new
work areas without specifying a driver. If the specified driver is not
available to the application, the call has no effect. DBSETDRIVER()
returns the name of the current default driver, if any.
Examples
. This example makes the "DBFNDX" driver the default driver. If
the driver is unavailable, a message is issued:
DBSETDRIVER("DBFNDX")
IF ( DBSETDRIVER() <> "DBFNDX" )
? "DBFNDX driver not available"
ENDIF
