Discussion

The <OBJECT>.COPY_PREV_FIELD() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.COPY_PREV_FIELD() method copies the value from the corresponding field in the previous record into the current field. The layout must be in Enter mode.

Example

This button on a form copies values from the field in the previous record into the corresponding field in the current record that is being entered:

topparent.copy_prev_field()
