2.60   | 2.60 WINDOWS | MS-DOS kbprg kbdocerr The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SUMMARY
The syntax for the KEYMATCH function is documented differently in the online Help files of FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS-DOS.

The FoxPro for Windows Help file gives the following syntax for the KEYMATCH function:

KEYMATCH( [,  [,  | ]]) However, the FoxPro for MS-DOS Help file gives the following syntax: KEYMATCH( [, ],  [,  | ]) The syntax shown in the FoxPro for Windows Help file is correct.

MORE INFORMATION
The KEYMATCH syntax shown in the FoxPro for Windows Help file is similar to the syntax in dBASE IV version 2.0:

KEYMATCH( [,  [,  | ]]) The brackets indicate that you can use any one of the following ?KEYMATCH(, )

-or-

?KEYMATCH(, , , ) where  is the index tag number,  is the work area number, and  is the work area alias. NOTE: Issuing ?KEYMATCH(, <expC>) will generate an "Invalid Function Argument" error message because this syntax is incorrect.
