Using information you gave above, put in a program:

/*
    Payment test Norman Snowden
*/

p_ = 457
i_ = .07
n_ = 13

?  p_,"p_", i_,"i_", n_, "n_"
//      457,"p_", .07, "i_", 13, "n_"        
cpayment = Payment(457,.07,13)
? cPayment
cpayment = Payment(p_,i_,n_)
? cPayment

Works fine.

So ... you need to provide more information. Such as, what version of
dBASE? What version of Windows? Where are the values defined? Etc.
