I want to create an argument form to ask for a single piece of data and
pass that data to a Datatrieve procedure. How do I get DTR to see the
symbol form argument form?

Are you using DATATRIEVE linked with the ALL-IN-1 image? Or are you talking to DATATRIEVE running elsewhere? If DATATRIEVE is linked in, you could always execute the DTR function or the DTR$xxx special naming convention from within ALL-IN-1, using a syntax that would have DATATRIEVE define its own symbol for you: GET #DTR_SYMBOL = "This is what I want to pass to DTR" . . . GET DTR$symbol_name = #DTR_SYMBOL or GET OA$FUNCTION = "DTR symbol_name = " #DTR_SYMBOL Another thought might be to use a logical value, which should be accessible to either. From ALL-IN-1, call your symbol LOG$DTR_SYMBOL, or something; then you could access that value from DATATRIEVE. F | |||||

I think Frank's response in -.1 is right on target )one or several of
those options should work for you. You may also need to declare your
variable in DATATRIEVE before trying to assign values to it.
DTR DECLARE symbol_name PIC X(40).
