PRB: APPEND GENERAL DATA Not Working in Windows for Workgroups

   APPEND GENERAL fieldname DATA datastring CLASS MSGRAPH
				

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Run the following program under Windows 95 to see that general field shows the correct graph:

      CLOSE ALL
      CLEAR ALL
      CREATE TABLE grphdata (desc C(10), one N(2),two N(2), three N(2))
   
      FOR i=1 TO 4   && create four records and load with data
         APPEND BLANK
         REPLACE desc WITH 'test'+ALLTRIM(STR(i)),one WITH i,two ;
            WITH i+1, three WITH i+3
      ENDFOR
      * create a text file
      COPY TO testdata FIELDS desc,one,two,three DELIMITED WITH TAB
      * create a table that has a memo field to hold text file
      CREATE TABLE grapmemo (textstr m)
      APPEND BLANK
      * place headings in the memo field
      REPLACE textstr WITH ;
         "desc"+chr(9)+"one"+chr(9)+"two"+chr(9)+"three"+chr(13)+chr(10)
      * place data from the text file in the memo file
      APPEND MEMO textstr FROM testdata.txt
      graphstr= textstr   && set a variable to the contents of the memo field
      CREATE TABLE graph ( olegraph  g)
      APPEND BLANK
      * add data for graph to general field
      APPEND GENERAL olegraph DATA graphstr CLASS MSGRAPH
      MODIFY GENERAL olegraph
   						

2. Run the same code under Window for Workgroups. The general field shows the wrong graph. It may show a graph that was previously stored in the general field or the last graph that MSGraph created.

NOTE: Under certain environments, issuing the APPEND GENERAL command twice might not show the correct graph. Adding the following code will allow the correct graph to be displayed:

   APPEND GENERAL olegraph DATA graphstr
   USE
   USE graph
   APPEND GENERAL olegraph DATA graphstr
