BUG: LIST STRUCTURE Ignores Index if Index Name != Field Name

Last reviewed: April 25, 1997
Article ID: Q157360

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

If the name of the Index is different from the name of the field that it is based on, then the LIST STRUCTURE command ignores the Index entry.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a Table and Index with the following commands:

      CREATE TABLE Test(Fld1 c(5), Fld2 c(5))
      INDEX ON fld1 TAG one

Issue the "LIST STRUCTURE" command (without the quotes).

The INDEX column is blank, which means that LIST STRUCTURE does not recognize the "one" tag and so does not display it as such.

NOTE: The same behavior exists even if the table is part of a database.
