SET CARRY TO [FieldList [ADDITIVE]]
Parameters
ON
Brings data from all fields in all work areas forward from the current record to a new record.OFF
(Default) Prevents data from all fields from being passed to a new record.TO [FieldList [ADDITIVE]]
FieldList specifies the fields from which data is carried forward. Separate the field names with commas.ADDITIVE specifies that the fields in the field list be added to the current set of fields being carried forward.
Issuing SET CARRY TO implicitly performs SET CARRY ON.
Use SET CARRY TO without FieldList to restore the default setting (all fields are carried forward).
Remarks
Use SET CARRY to enable data to be carried forward from the current record to a new record or to prevent data from being carried forward. Fields that generally remain unchanged during an editing session can be brought forward for each new record. For example, a field containing the current date can be brought forward for each new record so a new date doesn't have to be entered again. Note that the contents of Memo and General type fields are not carried forward.
SET CARRY affects only the table open in the currently selected work area.
SET CARRY is scoped to the current data session.
