$currhits()

So, is "It's job" the same as $curhits, or $hits? 

Iain

Ingo has written $currhits() with 2 r chars while Iain reported $curhits with a single r char.

Quick check:
Searching into actual CHM file I am finding only $curhits (single r char);
writing $currhits (with 2 r chars) in a trigger is highlighted, compiled and it works like $curhits.

Gianni

Yeah, but as Ingo says, if you type $currhits into the editor, it colours up as blue (meaning recognised as a reserved word). I was just curious which of the other two it behaved like. 

$currhits is just a synonym of $curhits. The compiler and runtime treat the two functions exactly the same. I guess it was a choice to just document $curhits - did not really check what was implemented first.

The first implementation I remember (4.0.q6) was $currhits with 2 r chars.

Gianni

In Uniface Six, the implemented $curr.... violates the standard $cur... naming convention.
So it was corrected in Uniface 7.
but for compatibility reasons, the parser handles $currhits as well up to today.
