SUMMARY

The Help file that ships with Microsoft FoxPro versions 2.6 and 2.6a states that the function SYS(1037) is for use in FoxPro for Macintosh only. It claims that SYS(1037) will be ignored by FoxPro for MS-DOS and FoxPro for Windows. This is incorrect.

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The SYS(1037) function may be used on the Macintosh to display the Page Setup dialog. It may also be used in FoxPro for Windows to display the Print Setup dialog box. SYS(1037) is ignored in FoxPro for MS-DOS. The following two-step procedure demonstrates the functionality of SYS(1037) in Windows:

Open Microsoft FoxPro version 2.6 or 2.6a for Windows.
Type ?SYS(1037) in the Command window, and press ENTER. The Windows Printer Setup dialog box appears.
