>I can see that, but there is also an old rule, "One command per line". You can argue that STORE is one command, but I can also argue that assigning a value to more than one variable at a time is multiple commands. In this case, it's a matter of preference.

look this.

Example,
"I want store the current datetime() into two variables":

Incorrect program:

var1= DATETIME() 
var2= m.var1

Correct program,
but
1 it is sensitive to the future changes of the code,
2 the read of the syntax is slow
3 the execution is slow

dummy=DATETIME() 
var1= m.dummy
var2= m.dummy
* don't forget this
RELEASE dummy

Correct program,
1 insensitive, you have to change the program line
2 read is fast
3 execution is fast

STORE DATETIME() TO var1, var2

unfortunately in VFP the execution of a line of code is not ACID,
but this is another issue ....
