Good day.
If it is possible, please how can I create a link for to debug a program 
passing parametersto it  ie: "xppdbg Test xParam"?
In all the tries that I did I always get a message that says that the 
program Text.exe is not found.

Hi,

With my application I need to pass it a parameter"l" when testing so 
that it uses a local copy of the datafiles from my laptop instead of the 
production files on the server.  Rather than typing XPPDBG I have a 
batch file called "d.bat" with one line in it...

XPPDBG famtest.exe %1

So to run locally I simply type d l

Of course I can type XPPDBG famtest l from the command prompt, similarly 
to what you are doing,  for the same results (both Xbase 1.9 & 2.0).

This is basically what you appear to be attempting but in you message 
you refer to your executable as both test and text.exe... is this simply 
a typo in the message as xppdbg Test xParam should work fine.  Of course 
I am assuming that you are in the same folder as test.exe of the 
test.exe folder is in your path.

Hi Jonathan.
Good day.
Many thanks.
What I want to do is to create a link for to use XppDbg executing a 
program that receives parameters (ie: xppdbg Test.exe xParam).
It seems that when executing XppDbg in a link file it considers all 
string after it name as a program path.

In the shortcut's target, simply place the program name parameter in double 
quotes, so that the program knows where the file name ends and additional 
parameters start. For example:

"c:\....\XppDbg.exe" "c:\....\Test.exe" xParam1 xParm2

If the path to XppDbg or to the program contains any spaces, then this would 
be mandatory anyway, or Windows will consider the entire line to be the 
target's path and file name.

Hope that helps,

Andreas
