Answer 1

Are the MapBasic and MapInfo versions compatible? if you have copied the code from a newer version of MapInfo Pro and used it in your MapBasic script, there might be some commands which the older version of MapBasic does not support.

Can you try this instead:

Create Cartographic Legend 
[ From Window map_window_id ]
[ Behind ]
[ Position ( x, y ) [ Units paper_units ] ] 
[ Width win_width [ Units paper_units ] ] 
[ Height win_height [ Units paper_units ] ] 
[ Window Title { legend_window_title } 
[ ScrollBars { On | Off } ]
[ Portrait | Landscape | Custom ]
[ Style Size { Small | Large }
[ Default Frame Title { def_frame_title } [ Font... ] } ]
[ Default Frame Subtitle { def_frame_subtitle } [ Font... ] } ]
[ Default Frame Style { def_frame_style } [ Font... ] } ]
[ Default Frame Border Pen [ [ pen_expr ]
Frame From Layer { map_layer_id | map_layer_name 
    [ Using
        [ Column { column | Object } [ FromMapCatalog { On | Off }]]
        [ Label { expression | Default } ]
    [ Position ( x, y ) [ Units paper_units ] ] 
    [ Title { frame_title [ Font... ] } 
    [ SubTitle { frame_subtitle [ Font... ] } ]
    [ Border Pen pen_expr ]
    [ Style [ Font...] [ Norefresh ] [ Text { style_name } 
        { Line Pen... | Region Pen... Brush...| Symbol Symbol... } |
            Collection [ Symbol ... ] 
    [ Line Pen... ] [ Region Pen... Brush ...] } ]
[ , ... ]

If i insert that code into my mapbasic window it giving me unrecognized or syntax error.firstly i did all steps manually.while doing all steps i opened Mapbasic window in Mapinfo.then i got the code for all steps like . 1. open table 2. Open Table and built query to filter given task parameters 3. Set front window 4. Create thematic maps using Join 5. Create Legend 6.Create Layout from it.after completing this all steps i got Mapbasic code which i insert it into Mpabasic window by changing small small things.Now what i am not getting that is 1. Pagesetup code ( Portrait, Landscape etc) 2. How to erase border of existing map (Region Style). help me if possible.
