Perform Parameters

Former Member — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:12:14 GMT

If you have a Form that has parameters declared by using.

Example

Form Go_Do_This Using Param1 Param2 Param3 Param4

Then for example you have two different perform statements.

Perform Go_Do_This Using 'A' 1 'B' 'C'.(Char,Number,Char,Char)

Perform Go_Do_This Using 1 'B' 'C' 'D'. (Number,Char,Char,Char)

Since the form statement does not specify a data type for the parameters, does

it take the data type of the calling perform statement?

Let me know if this is confusing. I am trying to get to the bottom of an issue.

Thanks,

Stephen

It does not take the data type of the calling perform statement .. If you don't declare anything in the form

then by default it considers it to be a char data type ...

Rather than asking, why don't you just try it out? I doubt if much could be simpler.

This is a very basic question and could have helped yourself just by reading some documents and searching on internet.
