possible REPLACE issue

Post by kevclark64 »

I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm not doing something correctly, but using the Foxpro dialect the compiler throws an error on this line:

replace field1 with "value", field2 with "value",field3 with "value",field4 with "value"

The error is Parser: unexpected input 'with'

This works fine:

replace field1 with "value", field2 with "value",field3 with "value"
replace field4 with "value"

Hi Kevin,

This looks like a preprocessor bug, it seems it only allows 3 "subcommands", while it is instructed to allow any number. You can see the commands in C:Program Files (x86)XSharpIncludedbcmd.xh

Problem logged, thanks for the report!

Kevin - FYI... They use GitHub Issues to log some bug reports (but not all..).

Anyway, you can track/comment this one here:

Fixed in next build.

Great, thanks Robert.

Just to clarify, is there any limit in the number of REPLACEd fields on a single line? The VFP limit is 127.

I think the only limit is the amount of memory in your development computer.
