PRB: ACOPY() from 2-D Array Can Create 1-D Array

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

If an application creates a two-dimensional array with the DIMENSION X(5,1) statement, and then uses the ACOPY() function to create a second array that is a copy of the first, the resulting array is a one-dimensional array.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. When one of the dimensions of a two-dimensional array is 1, the array is essentially a one-dimensional array. Based on this information, the ACOPY() function creates a one-dimensional array.
