Forward function declaration <> function declaration

Thu, 2009-02-05 20:28 — Niek

I notice that when the forward declaration of a function states the parameters but the function itself doesn't this gives an error in tablename rule. "field cha_SoortTabel must be qualified with tablename"
Is there a rule which checks this ugly construction and is there a fix for the tablename rule?


function CBDSchoon returns logical(input cha_SoortTabel as character) forward.

function CBDSchoon returns logical:
define variable cha_CBDZender as character no-undo.
define variable cha_CBDOntvanger as character no-undo.
...
return true.
end function.

Shiver...

new rule forwardparams

I have added a new rule that looks if the parameters in the forward declaration are identical to parameters in the function implementation. You can download it to your contribs directory from:

For those who want try the

For those who want try the example in the original post: it does not trigger the "tablename" rule because the statement with the problem is replaced by a line with three dots.
Try this example instead:

function CBDSchoon returns logical(input cha_SoortTabel as character) forward.

function CBDSchoon returns logical:
    define variable cha_CBDZender as character no-undo.
    define variable cha_CBDOntvanger as character no-undo.
    cha_CBDZender = cha_SoortTabel.
    return true.
end function.
