[NEW.....] VFP 9.0 FIX - SYS(9201) RETURNS THE NUMBER OF NAMES IN THE NAME TABLE
February 2026
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCB
1. THE SYS(9201) FUNCTION:
SYS(9201) - Returns the number of names in the name table
Returns the number of names in the name table.
SYS(9201 [, nFunctionID])
Parameters
nFunctionID
Specifies the Function ID.
The following list contains the Function IDs supported in Visual FoxPro Advanced:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| nFunctionID | Function Description |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | The number of names in the name table. |
| 2 | The number of System Names in the name table. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return Value
Character
Remarks
The maximum number of names in the name table is 0xFDE8 (65000).
In vfp6, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x253 (595).
In vfp7, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x25E (606).
In vfp8, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x2F9 (761).
In vfp9, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x35D (861).
In VFP Advanced 32-bit, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x35D (861).
In VFP Advanced 64-bit, the number of System Names in the name table is 0x35D (861).
In a VFP Advanced 32-bit program compiled with VFP C++ Compiler,
the number of System Names in the name table is 0x35D (861) + the number of Reserved Names in the name table.
In a VFP Advanced 64-bit program compiled with VFP C++ Compiler,
the number of System Names in the name table is 0x35D (861) + the number of Reserved Names in the name table.
Usually Reserved Names are used for VFP C++ Compiler.
If a VFP program tries to create more than 65000 names in the name table,
it will do Garbage Collection to remove some unused names in the name table first.
System Names are always used, they will not be removed in the name table.
We can also use an undocumented function:
SYS(1025) - Garbage Collection
to do Garbage Collection manually.
2. CAUSE:
There are some BUGs in the following code.
3. RESOLUTION:
We can write some code to fix the BUG.
