CurRun( )

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This function returns the result of an MCL expression at the viewing start of the horse. To some extend, this function is similar to the AtStart( ) function with a default starter ID of the underlying race, i.e., the view that you are viewing. It is important to note the following limitations:

1.CurRun( ) function will return .NULL. in model evaluation since “viewing race” will be undefined when you evaluate a model (clicking the [Eval] button in the Race Meeting form).
2.Since viewing race changes whenever you jump to a new race, cached old values returned by CurRun( ) will be out-of-date all the time. You are recommended to set the column type to "No Caching", otherwise you will need to push the [Recalc] button to update the values whenever a new race is displayed.

 

Syntax

CurRun('eMCLExpr')

 

Returns

The data type of the return value is identical to that returned by eMCLExpr.

 

Example

Create a column "WeightDifference" as follows:

HrWeight( )-AtViewingRace('HrWeight( )')

 

The column returns different between the weight in each past start and the weight in the current start of each horse.
