Just a question :

if you script :

put system date into tdate
put last line of fld "viestit" into tLastData
put offset(tdate, tLastData) into tLine
if tLine <> 0 then
    put empty into fld "viestit"
end if


It's just the same as you write but with more details.
My question is : does it make a difference in the speed of the script ???

this sample works on a little data, so the comparison of time 
consuming in this case will be difficult to test, but on a big file 
for example, would it be faster to write a script as you do or there 
would be any difference in time with my script ??

any idea ?
