Is there a way to have Field names in a database that are 2 words such as "Hit Bonus" or "Typical Cost"?
Because when you do a #SH &Name - it will show you the name of the active record in the current db. But how would you show a field that has the the name of "Hit Bonus" or "Typical Cost"?? If there is no way to do it, I can make it all one word, but I would rather them two words if at all possible.

Thanks,

Yes, you can have multiple word field names, but as you mentioned, it makes things a mite harder.

&key, %rec.key, and %db(%rec,key) are all synonymous terms. The last one is what you'll have to use:

#SH %db(%rec,"Hit Bonus")
