PRB: FB+Migration Application Not Correctly Converting ALERT

 Last reviewed: May 16, 1996
Article ID: Q110367
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the FB+Migration application code analyzer, any lines that contain multiple prompts for the FoxBASE+ for the Macintosh ALERT command may be converted incorrectly.

RESOLUTION

Replace the commas used to separate each of the message parameters with plus signs (+).

For example, the code generated by the "More Information" steps below should like this: 

   choice = _alert("CAUTION", 10, "Alpha"+CHR(13)+"Beta"+;
      CHR(13)+"Gamma"+CHR(13))

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a FoxBASE+/Mac program that contains the following line of code: 

          ALERT CAUTION 10 TO choice "Alpha"+CHR(13), ;

               "Beta"+CHR(13), "Gamma"+CHR(13)


  2. Execute the FB+Migrate.app application in FoxPro for Macintosh.


  3. Choose Analyze Code and select the program created above.


  4. Choose Replace to replace the above line of code with its FoxPro
   equivalent and export the program.

    

The following line of code will be generated:



   choice = _alert("CAUTION", 10, "Alpha"+CHR(13), "Beta"+;
      CHR(13), "Gamma"+CHR(13))


When executed, the above code will generate a "Wrong number of parameters"
error message.
