Remarks
VODBFieldPut() is like FieldPut() but is strongly typed. This function, however, does not call the error handler and will not, therefore, produce a runtime error message or create an error object if it fails. Thus, it may be important to check the return value to determine if the function succeeded.
the LastRddError property in the runtime state. will contain needed information regarding any error that occurs.
See FieldPut(Usual, Usual) for more information and an example.
Examples
This example compares VODBFieldPut() to assign a value to the first field of a database:
X#
1nField := 1
2// Using VODBFieldPut()
3VODBFieldPut(nField, "MyData")    // Set field value
4// Or:
5? FIELDNAME(1)    // City (name of the first field)
6City := "MyData"
