... But even so, it doesnt make any sense to me. ...


A VFP logic sense exist for this rule:

- EOF() condition is equal to the (RECNO()>RECCOUNT()) condition
- when you are into a EOF() condition, the record is a hidden record
* next code run without errors
CREATE CURSOR AAA ( BBB I )
REPLACE BBB WITH 100
? BBB,RECNO(),EOF()

But:

BOF() condition it have not a correlation with RECNO() ( a RECNO() = 0 is a candidate )
CREATE CURSOR AAA ( BBB I )
APPEND BLANK
SKIP -1
? BOF()
REPLACE BBB WITH 100 && this reset the BOF() without move the recno pointer
? BBB,RECNO(),BOF()

but a VFP Logic sense exist for BOF(),

EOF() is a stable condition
BOF() is a metastable condition
