To reproduce

Z=00000000000.00
CREATE CURSOR tt ( t l )
APPEND BLANK
SELECT z from tt INTO CURSOR t
MODIFY STRUCTURE

observed: Width is 13
expected: Width must be 14
applies to Vfp 9, Vfp 7

note: SELECT 00000000000.00 from tt INTO CURSOR t works as expected

I have a lot of SELECT Z ...
statements in my application and customer scripts.

Please advice how to fix this without re-writing all SELECT statements in aplivcation and forcing all customers to re-write all scripts ?
