1. THE SYS(9031) FUNCTION:

     SYS(9031) - Enables or disables evaluating the Label.Caption property expression

     Enables or disables evaluating the Label.Caption property expression.

     SYS(9031 [, 0 | 1])

     Parameters
     0
     Disables evaluating the Label.Caption property expression.
     1
     Enables evaluating the Label.Caption property expression. 1 is the startup default for Visual FoxPro Advanced.

     Return Value
     Character

     Remarks
     If we enable evaluating the Label.Caption property expression in Visual FoxPro Advanced,
     Visual FoxPro Advanced will evaluate the Label.Caption property expression, for example,
     THISFORM.Label1.Caption = "=DTOC(DATE())"
     THISFORM.Label1.Caption is equal to the current system date,
     it is the same as Visual FoxPro 8.0 and later versions.

     If we disable evaluating the Label.Caption property expression in Visual FoxPro Advanced,
     Visual FoxPro Advanced will not evaluate the Label.Caption property expression, for example,
     THISFORM.Label1.Caption = "=DTOC(DATE())"
     THISFORM.Label1.Caption is equal to "=DTOC(DATE())"
     it is the same as Visual FoxPro 7.0 and earlier versions.

     However, the following statement always runs fine in Visual FoxPro all versions:
     THISFORM.Label1.Caption = DTOC(DATE())


2. CAUSE:

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
