Description
Passes parameters to the DataSet definition script.
Syntax
Syntaxbforward = DSOSETPARAM (ctrlentID, ctrlclassID, DSOID, paramID, paramvalue)
Parameters
DSOSETPARAM accepts arguments for the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| CtrlentID | Has the format WindowName.ControlName, where WindowName is the identifier of the window that contains the control effected, and ControlName is the identifier of the control. Notice that a period separates the two values. |
| ctrlclassID | The type of control that recognized the event. All data entry controls recognize this event. |
| DSOID | The name of the DataSet, or the ordinal number of the DataSet (its position in the list of DataSets that appears in the Form Designer's Edit Selection Criteria dialog box) |
| paramID | Substitutable parameter name or ordinal number (if not specified, the parameter this control is bound to is used). |
| paramvalue | Substitutable parameter value (if not specified, the value of DEFPROP is taken). |
Returns
True or False. If false, program execution returns to the calling procedure. If true, then event processing goes to the next level.

Remarks
If a control is bound to a substitutable parameter for a DataSet, the generic LOSTFOCUS event sends the DSOSETPARAM event with an appropriate DSOID, paramID, and paramvalue.
