LOCAL myarray[2,3] >>* or >>LOCAL ARRAY myarray[2,3] >>>VFP7 supports only the first syntax. Because of the added clauses in the Local and other declarations, the variables must be separated by commas, and ARRAY was somehow left out from the list of clauses, so the compiler complains (doesn't this rhyme?) about a missing comma after the Array keyword, reporting a syntax error.
* Correct syntax LOCAL ARRAY myarray1[2,3], myarray2[7] * Works in VFP 6, syntax error in VFP 7 LOCAL ARRAY myarray1[2,3], ARRAY myarray2[7]
