I don't understand how this is not a bug:

Local ix,c
Local Array aTest[1]
For ix=1 To 3
  Dimension aTest[ Iif(Type('aTest[1]')='C',Alen(aTest)+1,1) ]
  aTest[ALEN(aTest)] = Transform(m.ix)
Endfor
Display Memory Like aTest

It works as it should if I don't use beautify. If I use beautify the code itself affected. Beautifying shouldn't affect the working of the code.
