So, techically, they are only there to aid the developers in interfacing with the methods. Good idea. If the parameter statement indicates INPREF, the dev would know the parameter is pass by reference.

It would be cool if a utility was made that scans a file or project and compares the parameters refernced in the calling of functions with these guides to confirm that the caller are passing the argument correctly.

>>I just download the latest version of FTP class 2.0.2. While looking at the code, I noticed a new clauses in the parameter listing of the methods. preceeding the parameter declarations are prefixes; IMP, INPREF, etc. Thinking these are new to VFP 9.0, I when surfing the documentation to learn more. Unfortunently there is no mention of these clauses. So, I went back to my vesion 8.0 (it is what is installed on my work machine) and tried compiling the source code. It compiled without an error. My question is what are these and where can I learn more about them?
