nNumberOfCharacters

Specifies the memo field offset. For more information about the use of _MLINE and an example of its use, see MLINE(В ).

MLINE(В ) returns one line of text from a memo field. MLINE(В ) stores the location of its memo field offset to the _MLINE system variable. Use _MLINE as the second numeric argument in the MLINE(В ) function to increase the performance of MLINE(В ).

The startup default value for _MLINE is 0. Be sure to reset _MLINE to 0 before using _MLINE again with the MLINE(В ) function.
