PRB: APPEND FROM ARRAY Creates Only One Record

 Last reviewed: June 27, 1995
Article ID: Q119635
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6, 2.6a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5x, 2.6, 2.6a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5x, 2.6a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

The APPEND FROM ARRAY command should create one record in the currently selected database for each row in an array. Occasionally, only a single record will be created with the data from the first element of the array.

CAUSE

The array has been created as a one-dimensional array, as shown in the following example: 

   DIMENSION myarray(40)

RESOLUTION

The array must be created as a two-dimensional array, as shown in the following example: 

   DIMENSION myarray(40,1)
The ",1" causes the array to be created as 40 rows by 1 column. The APPEND FROM ARRAY command will now function as expected.
