Can somebody help me I am really confused!!!!
We are currently running a vendors software which you can invoke your own programs from. When I invoke my own program I pass a field as a parameter. I then use this parameter to run another program from which I can then run various options.
In the vendors software the following runs my program:
IF STYLESUM=alltrim('Export Costing')
exportcost(workstyle.mainkey)
ENDIF
The value of workstyle.mainkey = "T59*AU04*NEIL6803T*TECHNICAL"
My program exportcost then accepts the parameter for mainkey and then invokes a routine to run an external application
LPARAMETERS cMainkey
! /N U:\questpdm\costings.exe &cMainkey
The value of mainkey = "T59*AU04*NEIL6803T*TECHNICAL"
In the main form of my costings.exe program at the start I then accept the parameter i.e.
parameters cMainkey
The problem I have is that the value of mainkey is "T59*AU04*NEIL6803T*TECHN"
Has anybody experienced the same kind of problem. Its chopping some characters off my mainkey when passing parameters. I am really confused!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks
