>Alter table curpris add column pinner n(2)

>With SP1 beta, I get error 1115 "Invalid operation for the cursor", on line 2. 3 and 4. According to Help, this error means "An attempt was made to use the PACK command on a cursor." I do NOT try to pack the cursor, and I don't have any long field names, which may cause problems according to help. As far as I can see, this must be a bug which has been introduced in the Beta for SP1.

>I do realize that I can simplify my code, and replace all the four lines with

>SELECT *, Space(15) as familie, Space(2) as variant, 00 as pinner ;
 FROM prislist WHERE .f. INTO CURSOR curpris READWRITE

or

>SELECT *, Cast("" as c(15)) as familie, Cast("" as c(2))  as variant, ;
  Cast(0 as n(2)) as pinner ;
  FROM prislist WHERE .f. INTO CURSOR curpris READWRITE

>but, I use the same construct many,many places.

>I have investigated more, and I get even more confused. I tried to select from another table, and I did NOT recieve any error. I also USEd my prislist table, copied it to another name by Copy stru to xxx with cdx, and SELECTed from xxx, and got no error when I tried Alter table. So it is obvious that this error only happens under certain conditions, but I am not able to see which. CPDBF() and CPCURRENT() are identical.

Thanks God,
I couldn't reproduce:) However scared to think there might be a way to reproduce it.
