Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9 SP2 Help file, VFPX Edition v1.06 states

PARAMETERS ParameterList
Specifies one or more variable or array names to assign data to. Use commas to 
separate multiple parameters in ParameterList. Generally, you can pass a 
maximum of 26 parameters; however, in some circumstances, you can pass 27 
parameters.

      It was a *standalone* program.  The idea was to invoke it easily, such as 
in one line.  It took only one parameter.  I just wanted to detect if too many 
parameters were passed to it.  As far as I can see, VFP does not allow this 
sort of checking in a general way.

      The number of parameters is limited, but it seems it is way more than 26. 
 On my system, it is 152.  Yes, each parameter got its correct value.
