I understand that, Sergey.

But. . . given your observation, then I have an even bigger problem.
I commonly run something like *I* wrote above from the COMMAND WINDOW just to confirm that I will get the result expected when I put the code into my program/method. When it is right I copy/paste that code.
Here we are now with something that gives a different output depending on what other function/method it might also be coded with???? Not good news to me.

UPDATE: I finally located the Help that you referred to (was not easy). That is something that needs much wider coverage than this one single place in the documentation. I guess it was there for VFP6 too?
