PRB: Screen Scrolls During RUN Command

ID: Q111538

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

If you issue a RUN command and the status bar is set to ON, the screen will scroll upward. For example, if you run the following code

   SET STATUS ON
   @ 1,50 SAY "This is line 1"
   RUN DIR >NUL

the screen will scroll upward and the SAY will no longer be visible.

RESOLUTION

Change the first line of the code above to read SET STATUS OFF. If you then execute the next two lines of code, the screen won't scroll and the SAY line will remain visible.
