When traced, we found that there was inconsistent behavior with regard to setting and resetting datasessions programmatically (admittedly not recommened by MSFT) but worse than that, a very complex multilevel local view functions only intermittantly. Seen anything like these?

Hi Don,
Yes I have found a couple glitches, like the AFIELDS() function.
I use this function a lot to copy the structure of one table to
a temporary cursor at run time, every time that I have
moved from differents versions I have to code again that procedure
because AFIELDS() has more elements in each version, and then
CREATE CURSOR FROM ARRAY does not work. Is my opinion that
it should be backward compatible and is not. I have experienced
this from 2.6 to 3.0 and from 3.0 to 5.0
