GCONSULT = 0  access without limitations.
GCONSULT = 1 access to all the records being read.
GCONSULT = 2 access to the current record being read.

    the execution of the button or menu is prevented by setting the OK variable to 0.

    a message is displayed via the GERR variable= 1, 2 or 3.
Warning: Depending on the value of GERR, the button will be executed or not, irrespective of the value of the FOK variable.
