Recently, I had to optimize/debug/verify/etc an old project written in FP 2.6.

At the begining of the main program I found the following code that doesn't make any sense to me. (I also asked other FoxPro programmers from our team, but no answer was found.):

parameter Cmd_Param

if type("Cmd_Param") = "C"
   TempVar = Cmd_Param
   release Cmd_Param
   private Cmd_Param
   Cmd_Param = TempVar
endif

I can't find any reason to have this piece of code in the program since, IMO, it does nothing. Am I missing something? Is there something subtle/secret/etc and I don't see it?
