BUG: FB+Migrate Application and SYS(1021), SYS(1022)

 Last reviewed: May 17, 1996
Article ID: Q109603
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

When you are migrating an existing FoxBASE+ for the Macintosh application using the FB+Migrate Application, the application will incorrectly state that SYS(1021) and SYS(1022) are not supported in FoxPro for Macintosh, which is incorrect.

RESOLUTION

SYS(1021) and SYS(1022) return the monitor resolution in FoxBASE+/Mac. To return the same results in FoxPro for Macintosh, use the equivalent SYSMETRIC commands.

For SYS(1021) in FoxBASE+/Mac, use SYSMETRIC(2) in FoxPro for Macintosh. For SYS(1022) in FoxBASE+/Mac, use SYSMETRIC(1) in FoxPro for Macintosh.

The only difference is in the return values of SYS(1021) and SYSMETRIC(2). SYS(1021) returns the complete height of a monitor, whereas SYSMETRIC(2) returns the height, minus the height of the menu bar.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.5b for Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
