Hi Nadya,

It's very old bug ( SYS(3) don't return unique value ), I use always SYS(2015).

I'm means so FP builders add prefix "_" to SYS(3).

>Note Avoid using this string in CREATE TABLE, CREATE CURSOR, SELECT INTO CURSOR, and other similar commands. Using this string generates an error because a valid FoxPro cursor or alias name cannot begin with a number. If you have used SUBSTR(SYS(2015), 3) to create a unique table or cursor name without explicitly preceding the string with an underscore, (_), or alphabetic character, you can fix your code in the following ways:
>On a platform that supports long file names
>Use SYS(2015) by itself since it always begins with an underscore.
>On platforms and networks that support only the DOS 8+3 naming convention
>Change your naming expression to explicitly prefix an underscore as in the following example:
> "_"+SUBSTR(SYS(2015), 4)
