SAMEFIELD function

The SAMEFIELD field function tells you whether two field references point to the same target.

Syntax

SAMEFIELD returns a BOOLEAN value indicating whether two field references point to the same target. If they do, SAMEFIELD returns TRUE; otherwise SAMEFIELD returns FALSE.

For example:

DECLARE ref1 REFERENCE TO OutputRoot.XMLNS.Invoice.Purchases.Item[1];
MOVE ref1 NEXTSIBLING;
SET Result = SAMEFIELD(ref1,OutputRoot.XMLNS.Invoice.Purchases.Item[2]);

Result is TRUE.
