The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6 and 2.6a
- Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
SYMPTOMS
When you are running an .exe file built with FoxPro, the following error
message occurs when you try to execute a cross-tabulation:
No PARAMETER statement found.
NOTE: In FoxPro 2.0 for MS-DOS, the error that occurs is:
File '' does notexist.
CAUSE
The cross-tabulation program is being executed by referencing a variable
that has an incorrect value. For example,
DO (_genxtab) WITH "Query"
when the variable _genxtab has not been initialized.
RESOLUTION
Set the value of the variable being used before issuing the DO
command. For example,
_genxtab="GENXTAB.PRG"
DO (_genxtab) WITH "Query"
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Put the following commands into a program file called TEST.PRG:
**This program uses the CUSTOMER.DBF file from the
**\FOXPROW\TUTORIAL directory.
**
SELECT Customer.ono, Customer.state, Customer.ytdpurch;
FROM Customer;
GROUP BY Customer.ono, Customer.state;
ORDER BY Customer.ono, Customer.state;
INTO CURSOR SYS(2015)
DO (_GENXTAB) WITH 'Test'
BROWSE NOMODIFY PREFERENCE Test
- Type the following in the Command window:
BUILD PROJECT test FROM Test.prg
MODIFY PROJECT test
- Open the project file and choose Build and then choose Build
Executable.
- Try to execute the .exe file outside FoxPro, either from the Windows
Program Manager, or from the MS-DOS prompt if it is an .exe built with
FoxPro for MS-DOS.
The error message "No PARAMETER statement found" occurs. To correct
this error, do the following:
- Modify the program and make the following command the first line in
the program:
_GENXTAB="GENXTAB.PRG"
- Type the following command in the Command window:
BUILD PROJECT test FROM test.prg,genxtab.prg
- Open the project and build the executable again.
If you now run the executable file outside FoxPro, the cross-tabulation
program will be run as expected.
