>Don't know, I just tried it and it worked correctly for me. But one question: Is there more than one procedure/function in conv53.prg? Even if there is, unless they're being called by your "main" or some other places, it's not needed to do a SET PROCEDURE TO conv53.prg if the other functions are only called by/within conv53.


That type of a call will only work if the procedure/function named the same as the prg file is the first function/procedure and there is no other code (other than comments) above the function/procedure line. It really is not good practice IMHO to have a prg contain a function/procedure by the same name.
