1. THE SYS(9025) FUNCTION:

     SYS(9025) - Enables or disables creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically

     Enables or disables creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically.

     SYS(9025 [, 0 | 1])

     Parameters
     0
     Disables creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically.
     1
     Enables creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically. 1 is the startup default for Visual FoxPro Advanced.

     Return Value
     Character

     Remarks
     TEXT ... ENDTEXT Command (from dv_foxhelp9.chm).

     Sends lines of text specified by TextLines to the current output device or memory variable.
     Visual FoxPro sends lines of text to the current output device until it encounters an ENDTEXT statement or until the program ends.

     The current output device can include the main Visual FoxPro window, a user-defined window, a printer, a text file, or a low-level file.
     TEXT [TO VarName [ADDITIVE] [TEXTMERGE] [NOSHOW] [FLAGS nValue] [PRETEXT eExpression]]
     TextLines
     ENDTEXT

     TO VarName
     Specifies the memory variable name to use for passing the contents of the TEXT...ENDTEXT. This variable can already exist.
     If we enable creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically and the variable doesn't exist,
     Visual FoxPro automatically creates it as a private variable.
     For "the variable doesn't exist", that is: if there is no "PRIVATE var1", or there is only "PRIVATE var1" but there is no "var1 = ...",
     then Visual FoxPro automatically creates it as a private variable.
     If we disable creating the private variable in the TEXT TO command automatically and the variable has not yet been declared,
     Visual FoxPro automatically creates it as a private variable.
     For "the variable has not yet been declared", that is: if there is no "PRIVATE var1" and there is no "var1 = ...",
     and the variable var1 has not yet been declared in current procedure and all calling procedures,
     then Visual FoxPro automatically creates it as a private variable. if there is "PRIVATE var1" and there is no "var1 = ...",
     then Visual FoxPro does NOT create it as a private variable.
     The TO clause operates regardless of how SET TEXTMERGE is set. If SET TEXTMERGE is set to a file, and the TO statement is included,
     Visual FoxPro outputs both the file and variable.
     The SYS(9025) function is also used for the SET TEXTMERGE TO command and the CATCH TO command.


2. CAUSE:

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
