4gl function parameter problem
Hi there , Could anybody please tell me if my statements below are correct syntax in 4gl program ? In my main program , statements are as below: ............ if m_ac31('2',n.acm02,n.acm00,n.acm01, o[i].acn02 thru o[i].acn15) then display "m_ac31 error ",o[i].acn02 at 21,1 sleep 5 return 1 end if .... and m_ac31 is a function outside of main program. I don't konw if it's all right to pass parametes with array variables like o[i].acn02, o[i].acn15 ... etc. Any comments from you will be appreciated. thanks in advance pamela

It won't like the THRU. Also I'd use a PROMPT rather than a DISPLAY and a SLEEP - sleep statements are really annoying to end users.
