Hi Razzak,
I copied and pasted as you asked. I even copied and pasted very
basic dialogs out of the help PDF and it does not seem to want
to run a dialog.
Bill,
What is your database QUOTES setting?
After CONNecting the database, at the R> prompt:
SHOW CHARACTERS
Take a close look at the character used for QUOTES.
(either single quote or double quotes)
Then, use the appropriate quote character in your sample DIALOG
command.
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

Bill,
Assuming that the vCont1 is a TEXT value, try the very basic example
as follows (Just Copy and Paste the Code):
-- Start here ...
SET VARIABLE vCont1 TEXT = NULL
SET VARIABLE vEndKey TEXT = NULL
CLS
DIALOG 'Edit Student Pricing' vCont1 = 4 vEndKey 1 + CAPTION 'Please
enter student Code' ICON INFO + OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR 2147483647 +
|MESSAGE_BACK_COLOR -16777201 +
|MESSAGE_FONT_NAME MS Sans Serif +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 10|TRANSPARENCY 255 + WINDOW_BACK_COLOR -16777201
CLS
EDIT USING contracts WHERE RCode = .vCont1 RETURN
-- End here
Note:
1. Pre-define all variable with correct data types
2. Add a pipe "|" character for all additional OPTION parameters
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
