Hi, Fred.

This approach would be like creating a long buffer of parameters in order to respond to an unlimited number of parameters being passed. Is that the only way or there is a VB.NET like mechanism?

All command line parameters to VFP will be passed as character, so you could use a naming convention and "build" your parameter name in a loop to check for the first one that contains a logical .F. for it's value. The one before that (eg: the last one that's of type character) is the last actual passed parameter.
Yes, you have to declare as much parameters as the maximum expected, but you can know the actual number of parameters passed by using pCount(). Checking for the first logical FALSE could be misleading because it could be a valid parameter.
Furthermore, if this is something beyond your control, you don't have other choice. If you can control the caller side, a better idea can be refactor this solution by introducing a parameter object, or maybe you already have an object with this data, and then you can pass it trough.
Hope this helps,
