[comp.databases] Foxplus 2.0 problem with procedures

jayen@cs.mu.OZ.AU (Jayen Vaghani) (01/15/91)

We recently got Foxplus 2.0 but had problems getting our application
going. In particular, we had two major problems:

1.	When calling another procedure file which contains a
	a 'set procedure to ..' statement, the system forgets
	where to return to when the procedure file executes a
	'return'. This has worked fine with the previous versions
	of Foxplus that we have used.

	The procedure file needs to contain the 'set procedure to'
	statement since there are other procedures in the file
	that need to be called later.

2.	The other problem is writing control characters to the
	terminal. Apparently, in Foxplus 2.0, such characters
	cannot be written anymore with the "?" command. We are
	working dedicated hardware so we were using control
	characters to achieve some required effects.


If anybody can shed some light on these problems, it would be
most appreciated.

Thanks, Jayen.
