SUMMARY
The AFIELDS function has been enhanced in Visual FoxPro to allow the work area or alias to be specified.



MORE INFORMATION
To place the structure of a table that is not in the currently selected work area into an array, include the work area number or the alias name. If the work area number or alias name is not included, the currently selected table is used, which is the only behavior allowed in FoxPro version 2.X.

To test the difference in behavior run the following code in Visual FoxPro: CLOSE ALL USE C:\VFP\SAMPLES\MAINSAMP\DATA\Customer.dbf IN 1 EXCLUSIVE USE C:\VFP\SAMPLES\MAINSAMP\DATA\Employee.dbf IN 2 EXCLUSIVE SELECT CUSTOMER =AFIELDS(aMyarray,2) DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE aMyarray Then run the following code in FoxPro version 2.X:  CLOSE ALL USE C:\FPW\TUTORIAL\Customer.dbf IN 1 EXCLUSIVE USE C:\FPW\TUTORIAL\Salesman.dbf IN 2 EXCLUSIVE SELECT CUSTOMER =AFIELDS(aMyarray,2) DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE aMyarray This code generates the error message "Too many arguments" in FoxPro version 2.x.
