DBF() Function Parameters Reversed in Language Reference

Last reviewed: June 27, 1995
Article ID: Q98359

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

Page L3-356 of the "Language Reference" manual incorrectly states the type of parameter to be issued with the DBF() function. The <expC> and <expN> definitions are reversed.

The manual gives the example as:

   DBF([expC] | [expN])
     <expC> The work area number
     <expN> The table/.DBF alias

The manual should instead read:

   DBF([expC] | [expN])
     <expC> The table/.DBF alias
     <expN> The work area number
