In replacing multiple (or all) fields within a record, it would be faster to replace the entire record buffer using PutRecord, rather than using a series of Replace calls. Likewise, a single call to ApolloGetRecord can be used to read in the entire record buffer, rather than making multiple calls to GetString and/or other related Get* methods.

If you use GetString (and/or other similar functions) you could increase the data access speed through direct calls of such functions with characterized field index instead of legal xBase field name.

For example:

 GetString( 'FNAME' ); // Field #1

 GetString( 'LNAME' ); // Field #2

 

Can be:

 

 GetString( '1' ); // relates to FNAME

 GetString( '2' ); // relates to LNAME
