The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b

SUMMARY

The following statement on page L3-914 in the "Language Reference" is incorrect:

   When SET DELETED is OFF, records marked for deletion are
   unavailable for use in other commands.

   When SET DELETED is OFF, records marked for deletion are
   available for use in other commands.

MORE INFORMATION

When a record is marked for deletion, issuing SET DELETED OFF will not keep the marked records from being seen by other commands. To make records marked for deletion not available elsewhere in programs, use the SET DELETED ON command.
