OS/2 DosFindFirst Code Example Correction; Missing Comma (59723)






This article was previously published under Q59723

SUMMARY

On Page 525 of the "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Programmer's Guide" for Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) Versions 7.00 and 7.10, the code example given is missing a comma to delimit the VARSEG and SADD parameters when invoking the function DosFindFirst%.

The incorrect syntax documented in the manual is as follows:
   x = DosFindFirst%(VARSEG(flname$) SADD(flname$), dirh,_
                    atr, buffer, bufflen, searchcount, reserved)
				
The correct syntax of the CALL is as follows:
   x = DosFindFirst%(VARSEG(flname$), SADD(flname$), dirh,_
                    atr, buffer, bufflen, searchcount, reserved)
				
A comma is needed between VARSEG(flname$) and SADD(flname$).
