SUMMARY
=======
The documented functionality of the _PDRIVER variable on page C5-21 in the
"Commands & Functions" manual is incorrect. Microsoft FoxPro version 1.02
does not use any printer drivers; therefore, the _PDRIVER variable is
meaningless to the program.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The second paragraph on page C5-21 states:
_PDRIVER contains a character value that determines which printer driver will
be used when printing. The default value contained in this variable is the
default printer driver specified when FoxPro was installed.
<expC> MUST contain the name of one of the printer drivers supplied with
FoxPro (see the Appendix for a complete list). The printer driver file name
that you provide must be valid and must contain a path of the requested
driver is not in the current default directory.
This text contains several inaccuracies. First, the Appendix does not contain a
list of printer drivers. Second, FoxPro 1.02 does not prompt you for a specific
printer during installation; therefore, no value is stored to the _PDRIVER
variable. Finally, FoxPro 1.02 does not ship with any printer drivers.
The _PDRIVER variable was originally supposed to contain a printer driver.
However, printer drivers were never shipped for FoxPro 1.02.
