| Syntax | FileReadFile FileNameExpression, MemoItem |
| Action | [Statement] Reads a file into an Equinox memo |
| Scope | Usable anywhere |
| Notes | This statement reads all the data, unformatted, from the filename specified in FileNameExpression into the item specified in the MemoItem parameter. The memo is resized if necessary to accommodate the data. In order to read data from the server, prepend "SERVER:" (in any case) to the FileNameExpression. This prefix is ignored by the single user version. If the path specification is a relative one, it will start from the program directory - the Eqserver.exe directory for server files, and the Equinox.exe or Equinet.exe directory for everything else. The system workarea SysError is set to 1 if an error occurs, otherwise zero. |
