The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.02, 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, and 2.5a
  • Microsoft FoxPro Library Construction Kit, versions 2.0 and 2.5

Individual array elements are always passed to application programming interface (API) functions by value. When SET("UDFPARMS") == "VALUE" and no element is specified, the array name by itself refers to just the first element of the array (unless the array name is prefixed with "@", in which case the array is passed by reference).
