In VFP unfortunately there isn't STRUCT/UNION etc styles. However you could build the whole struct as a string. ie : For this struct you need at least :
4*long(4bytes) + enough space for string buffers. As I sense you would get this as an output parameter. Then :
lpResponse = space(4*4+256*4) && Simply assumed 256 bytes buffer would be more than sufficient for strings
could be used. At return it's your responsibility to decode lpResponse to get returned values. However it's cumbersome and you might want to look Christof's STRUC class in files section. It provides a way to create and get back struc types.
