DOCERR: Write*ProfileString Declaration Incorrect in API

MORE INFORMATION

The declaration is incorrectly shown as:

Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "Kernel"
                                 (ByVal lpApplicationName As String,
                                  lpKeyName As Any,
                                  lpString As Any,
                                  ByVal lplFileName As String) As Integer
				

The correct declaration is as follows:

Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "Kernel"
                                 (ByVal lpApplicationName As String,
                                  ByVal lpKeyName As Any,
                                  ByVal lpString As Any,
                                  ByVal lplFileName As String) As Integer
				

NOTE: Each Declare statement must be entered as one, single line.

Notice that the "ByVal" keyword was omitted from the second and third parameters in the online reference. [In fact, all of the "PrivateProfile" functions suffer from this omission (missing ByVal in their second argument)]. This means that the function is passing the second (lpKeyName) and third (lpString) by reference. They need to be passed by value.
