Take a look at the help for FUNCTION. It gets as close as you'll get to
strong typing in VFP.
? TIME(), MyFunction("Strong typing in VFP? ", 3)
&& Notice the "AS STRING" at the end of this.
FUNCTION MyFuction(tcParam1 as String, tnParam2 as Integer) AS STRING
LOCAL lcRetVal
lcRetVal = REPLICATE(tcParam1, tnParam2)
RETURN lcRetVal
ENDFUNC
(I just typed this in without testing.)
I don't think the compiler would catch the error if you actually
returned some other data type than STRING however.
I hope this is what you were after.
