*menulegalvalue(1.2)
*menulegalvalue(3.0)
*menufield("STRING FIELD",string,$STRING_ATTRIBUTE,10)
*menulegalvalue("String 1")
*menulegalvalue("String 2")
*menulegalvalue("Last String")If the *menufield() attribute is of type integer, the string specified in the *menulegalvalue() command is converted to an integer and stored in the attribute.
If the *menufield() attribute is of type real, the string specified in the *menulegalvalue() command is converted to a real number and stored in the attribute.
If the *menufield() attribute is of type string, the string specified in the *menulegalvalue() command is copied to the attribute.
The *menulegalvalue() cannot modify a *menufield() along with a *menuenum()command or a *menurestrictedvalue() command.
Multiple *menulegalvalue() commands may be applied to the same *menufield() command.
