Type: Boolean

Specifies whether you have permission to write to the table using any of the following record functions:

• INSERT Function (Record)

• DELETE Function (Record)

• MODIFY Function (Record)

• RENAME Function (Record)

• DELETEALL Function (Record)

• MODIFYALL Function (Record)

true if you can write to some or all of the table. false if you cannot write to the table.

This function uses the filter that is currently applied to the Record to determine whether you have write permission. If no filter is applied, the function tests for full write permission. If a filter has been set, the function only tests for write permission within the range of the filter.

To determine whether the user has a partial read permission, because a security filter has been applied, use the SETPERMISSIONFILTER Function (Record) before testing the permission with WRITEPERMISSION.

If you do not have permission to write to a table and you attempt to write, a run-time error occurs. This function allows you to determine in advance if you have write permission. When the permissions are checked, the combination of permissions in the license file and the user's permissions in the Permission table is considered.
