The below works in development mode, but will it work in distributed apps? If it will work, is there any reason why NOT to capture the current data environment using this method and restoring it thus?

*Capture Current Environment settings
PRIVATE msafety
msafety=SET('safety')
SET SAFETY OFF
PRIVATE myalias
myalias=''
myalias=ALIAS()
PRIVATE mrecno
mrecno=0
IF !EMPTY(myalias)
	store RECNO() TO mrecno
ENDIF
PRIVATE mviewfile
mviewfile=hdir+sys(3)
CREATE VIEW &mviewfile

*HERE I close tables, open new tables, set relationships, etc for temporary
*stuff will need to get back to original environment

*Restore original environment settings
SET VIEW TO &mviewfile
IF FILE(mviewfile+'.vue')
	DELETE FILE (hdir+mviewfile+'.vue')
ENDIF
IF !EMPTY(myalias)
	SELECT(myalias)
ENDIF
IF mrecno>0
	GOTO mrecno
ENDIF
SET SAFETY &msafety
