Hi Steven,

Since you're using the PARAMETERS statement as the first line, something you might check is whether the SCH_TSK variable *already exists*. That would mean that PCOUNT() or PARAMETERS() would always return 1 whether it was passed or not (the value of SET UDFPARMS may also affect this issue).

Alternately (and probably more safely), you could use the LPARAMETERS statement instead -- that would create a *locally scoped* parameter, and therefore PCOUNT() would only return 1 if a parameter was *actually* passed into the routine.

Just an idea....HTH

>I'm having a problem with an application I've just created where no matter how many parameters I pass the exe or even if I don't pass one at all the Parameters() and PCOUNT() functions are returning a value of one. I've used this same section of code in dozens of applications and this is the first time I have ever encountered this problem Any help is greatly appreciated.
