The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are attempting to append a record to a database, a trim format applied to a GET field in a screen will cause nonterminating looping to occur, when the trim format is used in conjunction with a VALID clause that returns false when the field is empty. This behavior occurs both when the GETs are memory variables as well as database fields.
RESOLUTIONThis looping will not occur if the Trim picture clause is not used or if the VALID clause is not used.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.0 for MS-DOS. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS.
