passing parameter to a progress 4gl file using prowin32

I am trying to pass multiple input parameters using prowin32 . But i am not able to find out the correct way of passing multiple parameters.

This is the code of my *.p file

define input parameter param1 as character no-undo.
define input parameter param2 as character no-undo.
message param1 param2 
view-as alert-box.

and I am trying the below command in proenv

prowin32.exe -p D:\proj\myfolder\sample.p -param "1stValue","SecondValue" -clientlog D:\proj\myfolder\pf\lg.log

I tried removing the quotation marks of the input parameters but I am still getting error saying

mismatched parameters passed to the routine
Solution

  • Another Alternative is to use a Parameter "pf" file .

    Prowin32.exe -pf c:\test\myprog.pf

    Inside myprog.pf file 
-p c:\test\mystartupProgram.p
-param "Param1, Param2, Param2" 
-db myDB
-H localhost 
-S 5000
