Wrong number of Parameters?
« on: February 04, 2023, 08:05:21 pm »
My compiler is telling me I have the wrong number of parameters (See attachment).   Is that so?  Is it because the first time I used it it was in a "Program" and now I'm using it in an "Application"?
If I enclose the close statement in brackets, then all is fine.  No compile errors.  Like this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {Close(filenameIn);}


But if I leave the close as part of the application, then this happens:
(This is the code that produces the error.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. unit City;
  2.  
  3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
  4.  
  5. interface

  14.      Hamlets will be no more than 50 Settlers.                                // These are just my notes about the program
  15.      Villages will be no more than 100 Settlers.
  16.      Towns will be no more than 200 Settlers.
  17.      Cities will be no more than 500 Settlers.
  18.      Metropolises will have no limit on Settlers.

Hi,
try CloseFile instead.
Your "close" refers now (inside GUI application) to 'TForm1.Close which is with no parameters.

Close is perfectly fine except when the context is wrong like using with.
You can avoid this by calling system.close() instead of close().
Closefile is an abberation, such that I wonder who I need to hit for that.
(So don't come to Salamanca..)

Specialize a type, not a var.

OK, broken glass is perfect except that not in one piece. 
Closefile is only the procedure redefinition just to avoid conflicts with name 'Close' very often spotted in methods.

To get to the real reason here, CLOSE is part of the TFORM with which he is in.

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

Exactly, and in which case you can circumvent that by being explicit and use system.close().

I decided to keep it super simple.  I just opened the file in Lazarus IDE typed in F-I-L-E after the close and then compiled that.  It worked and I'm just going to leave it like that.

Thanks Guys!

That would be the original Delphi developers...

To make simple (and Thaddy happy) just type S-Y-S-T-E-M-. before the close, like this:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. system.Close(FilenameIn);
