Evaluates whether an object meets the specified search criteria.

When used with record criteria, it will determine whether a specific record is attached to the object; if used with record-field criteria, it will return the value of the field as a REAL value.

FUNCTION Eval(
        h   :HANDLE;
        c   :CRITERIA) : REAL;

def vs.Eval(h, c):
    return REAL

Parameters

h		HANDLE		Handle of object to which the search criteria will be applied.
c		CRITERIA		Search criteria.

Return Value

If the criteria is a record-field criteria, the procedure will return the value contained within the field. All other criteria return the TRUE-FALSE state of the criteria condition. (Conrad) my tests show that the actual return values for (R IN ['Part Info']) type criteria are 0 or 1 (
