DevWrite
Writes a string to a device. If the device is free-format, the data is written to the device as specified. If the device is record-based, the data is written to the current field, and the field pointer is moved to the next field.
Writing to a DBF device appends the data to the device.
DevWrite(hDev, sData)
hDev:
The device handle, returned from the DevOpen() function. The device handle identifies the table where all data on the associated device is stored.
sData:
The data to write, as a string.
Return Value
0 (zero) if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
