I just tried this program in FP 2.0 and it runs fine to expected completion, and I get a "Not Found: ..." for each and every record.

close all
select 0
use gameinfo
select 0
use gamemask
select gameinfo
scan
? name
select gamemask
** force an eof (all fields are uppercase)
locate for gamemask.abbrv = "xxx" && gameinfo.abbrv
IF eof() && !found()
? "Not Found: "+gameinfo.abbrv
ENDIF

endscan
