Appends stored procedures in a text file to the stored procedures in the current database.
Syntax
APPEND PROCEDURES FROM FileName
[AS nCodePage] [OVERWRITE]
Arguments
FileName
Specifies the name of a text file from which the stored procedures are appended.
AS nCodePage
Specifies the code page of the text file from which the stored procedures are appended. Visual FoxPro copies the contents of the text file and, as it does so, automatically converts the contents of the text file to the code page you specify.
If you specify a value for nCodePage that is not supported, Visual FoxPro generates an error message. You can use GETCP( ) for nCodePage to display the Code Page dialog box, allowing you to specify a code page for the text file from which the stored procedures are appended.
If you omit AS nCodePage, Visual FoxPro copies the contents of the text file from which the stored procedures are appended and, as it does so, automatically converts the contents of the text file to the current Visual FoxPro code page. The current Visual FoxPro code page can be determined with CPCURRENT( ).
If nCodePage is 0, Visual FoxPro assumes that the code page of the text file from which the stored procedures are appended is the same as the code page of the current database, and that no conversion to the current Visual FoxPro code page occurs.
OVERWRITE
Specifies that the current stored procedures in the database are overwritten by those in the text file. If you omit OVERWRITE, the current stored procedures in the database are not overwritten, and the stored procedures in the text file are appended to the current stored procedures.
Remarks
Use APPEND PROCEDURES to programmatically modify stored procedures in a database. A database must be open and current when APPEND PROCEDURES is issued; otherwise Visual FoxPro generates an error message.
