ARow.ByName( 'MYFIELD' )

returns a column reference, exception occurs if 'MYFIELD' is not
found.


ARow.GetByName( 'MYFIELD', ACol )

the column reference returns in ACol (the var parameter) and the
function returns true. If the column does not exist then the
function returns false.

See TIB_Row in the online help for more information.
