Since these are function calls, there's an old syntax rule which may work - namely, in code you can line up function calls (without returning anything) by simply lining them in the same line and separating by comma, but that's old syntax which works only in code, and only when the first call is prefixed with =

=_vfp.docmd("SET Century off"),_vfp.docmd("SET DATE YMD")

Since expressions are evaluated, and I couldn't really decide the type of the value returned by these two (value is .null.), this should work as a workaround:

TRANSFORM(_vfp.docmd("SET Century off")) + TRANSFORM(_vfp.docmd("SET DATE YMD"))

IOW, since we don't care about what they return, may as well convert them into strings and add them as such.

You may also try

_vfp.docmd("SET Century off") and _vfp.docmd("SET DATE YMD")

which may work (works after a ? in command window - don't have a report at hand to try), or you may try with an OR instead, need to make sure BOTH get executed, and not sure about that with logical shortcut evaluation.

Yet another way around this may be

iif(isnull(_vfp.docmd("SET Century off")), _vfp.docmd("SET DATE YMD"), null)

once we're sure it always returns a null.
