My guess would be there is a problem with how VFP is passing the parameters. Your pos_api_pin.table object needs to enclose character variables in quotes.

The SQL string shoud look like:

lcsqlexec = [Sp_API_PINSALES '100112', 'SOLD', 1, '120001, 64045805, '4291', 'VAULT']

If the SP fails, you should issue an AERROR(myerroryarray) to get why it failed.

HTH.
