>Add the EXTERNAL ARRAY command after the LPARAMETERS to let the compiler know that this is an array coming in.
>e.g.
>LPARAMETERS lpPos, lpVal, lpArray
>EXTERNAL ARRAY lpArray
>LOCAL iPos, iLen, iStart
>If the array originates in the method or function, there will have been a DIMENSION, DECLARE or the array was created in the scope command - e.g., LOCAL laArray(1,1) - so those are recognized as arrays.
>The program would work because it know it's an array since it's in memory.
>However, since the compiler doesn't follow naming conventions, and VFP doesn't have strong variable typing, and array elements can be accessed the same way function can be called; something extra is needed to indicate to the compiler that the item is an array.
>e.g. Which of these is attempting to get the first element from an array and which is passing 2 parameters to a program?
