Requirement of <Array1> with ACOPY() Not Documented

ID: Q95701

The information in this article applies to:

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.
