  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SUMMARY

PRFOX9109014

SYMPTOMS

In early (prior to 9/26/91) releases of Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS- DOS, an error occurs in an application if the FREAD function was used.

CAUSE

The FOPEN function does not properly open a file included in a project.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS releases dated prior to September 26, 1991. This problem was corrected in the Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS release dated September 26, 1991.

MORE INFORMATION

The FREAD(<expN1>,<expN2>) function returns (as a character string) a specified number of bytes from a file or communications port.

The FOPEN(<expC>[,<expN>]) function opens a file or communication port for low-level use. If the file or communications port is successfully opened, the file handle of the file or port is returned.
