2.60 MS-DOS kbprg kbprb

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
When a large table is reindexed in FoxPro for MS-DOS, unexpected characters will appear on the line that reports the results of the indexing.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
When a large database file that has over 4.5 million records is reindexed, the output of the first tag to the screen will be fine; for example:

Reindexing Tag  of file - However, all subsequent tags will produce the results similar to the following Reindexing Tag   of file - where  is any three ASCII characters. When a smaller database (for example, one containing 1.5 million records) is used, this behavior does not occur.
