MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Add the following line to CONFIG.FP or CONFIG.FPW: CODEPAGE=AUTO

In the Command window, type "SET CPCOMPILE TO 0" (without the quotation marks). The following error message occurs. Code page not found

In the Command window, type "COMPILE <Program> AS 0" (without the quotation marks).

Note that this works. An error message should be returned.

The SET CPCOMPILE command is new to FoxPro 2.6. This command specifies the code page for compiled programs.

Use SET CPCOMPILE to compile programs for a specific code page. The code page you specify with SET CPCOMPILE is used for programs compiled automatically by FoxPro, programs compiled using the Compile dialog box, and programs compiled with the COMPILE command. To override the code page you specified with SET CPCOMPILE, you can include the AS clause in the COMPILE command. For more information about COMPILE AS, see the FoxPro online Help.

The valid code pages that can be used with the SET CPCOMPILE TO command are listed below:
