-param PROBLEMS

[Bubbancs]

Hi there!

I hav a problem with -param , posting a parameter to a file.

I have ver. 9.1c .
I run from a command line the line :

prowin32.exe -p c:\temp\12.p -param test

in the 12.p ther is only :

DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER cPatchID AS CHARACTER.
MESSAGE cPatchID
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

And there is an error message:
Mismatched number of parameters passwd to procedure c:\temp\12.p (3234)
**Unable to run startup procedure c:\temp\12.p (492)


PLS HELM ME !!!!!

The -param you pass into a client session is NOT an input parameter for the startup program.

It is the SESSION parameter and can be accessed in your start up program by using

SESSIONARAMETER

If you require more than one parameter passed into your session it is best to use a comma separated list and then retrieve it

ASSIGN cparam1 = ENTRY(1,SESSIONARAMETER)
iSequence = INT(ENTRY(2,SESSIONARAMETER))
...

Yor code should read
/* DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER cPatchID AS CHARACTER. */
MESSAGE SESSIONARAMETER
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

The SESSIONARAM can be accessed anywhere in the SESSION, not just in the start up program
