{| = PRB: ACOPY from 2-D Array Can Create 1-D Array =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q88233

The information in this article applies to:


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

SYMPTOMS
If an application creates a two-dimensional array with the DIMENSION X(5,1) statement, and then uses the ACOPY function to create a second array that is a copy of the first, the resulting array is a one-dimensional array.

STATUS
This behavior is by design. When one of the dimensions of a two-dimensional array is 1, the array is essentially a one-dimensional array. Based on this information, the ACOPY function creates a one-dimensional array.
