| Syntax | SubstituteData MemoWithTokens, [DiscardUnknownExpression] |
| Action | [Statement] Merges record data with memo variables. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere. |
| Notes | This statement modifies memo variables by using data from the current record and/ or accessible workareas to replace any corresponding tokens enclosed in braces. MemoWithTokens is parsed to replace any instances of {DataObjectName} with the current value of DataObject. If DataObject doesn't exist or can't be accessed, {DataObjectName} is retained, unless the DiscardUnknownExpression evaluates to True. This allows you to preserve any brace characters, provided that they aren't enclosing an accessible data item. |

| Example | This example creates a rudimentary World-Wide Web page, to display the current record on the Internet. The record has fields: CustNo, CustName, CustAddr, CustFax. The HTML file is created by re-directing the output of the Equinox Print window to a file called WEBPAGE.HTM memo HtmlData |
