Hi,

i try to write a generic clone function for a workarea.

For ORDER it is ok
For FILTER it need a slow macro, but i can
For SET KEY problem occurs.

If expression index is logical,date,datetime and character,
SET("KEY") return a incomplete string.
This can to be ambiguous.

Example:

CREATE CURSOR MyTest ( fDate D DEFAULT DATE() UNIQUE)
APPEND BLANK
SET ORDER TO 1
SET KEY TO DATE()
? SET("KEY")         && i aspect {99-99-9999},{99-99-9999}

CREATE CURSOR MyTest ( fDate C(10) default DTOC(DATE()) UNIQUE)
APPEND BLANK
SET ORDER TO 1
SET KEY TO DTOC(DATE())
? SET("KEY")         && i aspect '99-99-9999','99-99-9999'

My aspect result is direct useful for EVALUATE().

EXAMPLE:

m.Key1=EVAL(SET("KEY",1))

Why SET("KEY") command is incomplete ?
