1. THE SYS(9062) FUNCTION:

     SYS(9062) - Sets or returns the variable behavior for the variable name without mdot

     Sets or returns the variable behavior for the variable name without mdot.

     SYS(9062 [, 0 | 1 | 2])	

     Parameters
     0
     For the variable name without mdot, vfp will not check the field name, it will check the variable name only.
     1
     For the variable name without mdot, vfp will check the field name first, if there is no the field name in the current work area,
     vfp will check the variable name. 1 is the startup default for Visual FoxPro Advanced.
     2
     For the variable name without mdot, vfp will check the variable name first, if there is no the variable name, vfp will check
     the field name in the current work area.

     Return Value
     Character

     Remarks
     If we set SYS(9062,0) in Visual FoxPro Advanced, 
     for example, for the code:
     x2=x1
     vfp will not check the field x1, it will check the variable x1 only, it will store the variable x1 to the variable x2.
     But for some code, for example,
     REPLACE fld2 WITH fld1
     it will cause an error, because there is no the variable fld1.

     If we set SYS(9062,1) in Visual FoxPro Advanced, 
     for example, for the code:
     x2=x1
     vfp will check the field x1 first, if there is the field x1 in the current work area, it will store the field x1 to the variable x2,
     if there is no the field x1 in the current work area, it will store the variable x1 to the variable x2.
     It is the same as Visual FoxPro 9.0 and earlier versions.

     If we set SYS(9062,2) in Visual FoxPro Advanced, 
     for example, for the code:
     x2=x1
     vfp will check the variable x1 first, if there is the variable x1, it will store the variable x1 to the variable x2,
     if there is no the variable x1, it will store the field x1 to the variable x2.

     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The SYS(9062) function is only used for the global data session and private data sessions.
     For the system data session, it always uses the default setting.

     Recommend to always use the mdot prefix for all variables, for example,
     m.x2=m.x1
     it will run faster, and there is no any problem.


2. CAUSE:

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
