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

Microsoft has confirmed that the ACOPY() function was mistakenly omitted from the Array Functions table on page D9-4 of the Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 "Developer's Guide."

In Chapter 9 of the "Developer's Guide," the "Creating Arrays" section includes a list of functions that according to the manual, will create an array. One of the functions listed is ACOPY(). Listed below is the syntax for this function:

   ACOPY(<array1>,<array2>[,<expN1>[,<expN2>[,<expN3>]]])

The documentation however, does not stress that <array1> is required. Since the purpose of this command is to copy the contents of <array1> to <array2>, <array2> will be created if and only if <array1> already exists.
