There is a setting that might force variables to be declared _VFP.LANGUAGEOPTIONS, but this is minor. From VFP7 you need to delimit the fars with ','.
IOW
LOCAL x y z
is not longer supported it need to be
LOCAL x, y, z
and one that forces date(time) literals to be propper formated SET STRICTDATE TO (VFP 7)
