PRB: Last Line in a Method Doesn't Update Variables in Debug

ID: Q134979

SYMPTOMS

If the last line of any form method is a variable assignment, the debug window doesn't refresh the variable assignment value.

This behavior is by design. This is expected behavior because all local variables are destroyed right after the method scope is lost.

Create a form property that has the same variable name.

1. Create a new form.

2. Place the following code in the Init procedure of the form:

   WAIT WINDOW "Variable assignment" NOWAIT
   nMyVeriable=12

3. Save the form as MyForm.scx.

4. Open the debug window, and place the nMyVeriable variable in the left

   side of the debug window.

5. Type the following in the Command window:

   DO FORM MyForm.SCX
