 | In a future release of dBase, I would like to see the ability to perform
field vs field comparison within filters.
Eg
(where "account_balance", "invoice_address" and "delivery_address" are
fields and "rowDebtors" is a rowset)
rowDebtors.filter := "invoice_address <> delivery_address and
account_balance > 0"
granted a field "delivery_not_invoice" set to true/false would address the
issue, but that is extra coding and gets less and less elegant
the more comparisons of this type are made: the programmer could end up with
more fields of this type than fields that hold 'real' data.
It would also be advantageous to incorporate support for some of the
predicates such as Like, though I would find that less useful personally
than
the addition of field vs field comparison.

There's a bug report for this one, I believe.
