Hi Przemek,
I don't think you understand what I mean...
In Clipper, if you attempt to update a record when at EOF (ie. by
mistake), it does NOT cause a runtime error (which is bad!). Harbour,
on the other hand, does generate a runtime error (which is good!).
However, what I am saying is that, the error message that Harbour
generates now (ie. "Variable does not exist") is misleading. I am
suggesting that is be re-worded to "Attempt to update record while at EOF".
Does that make sense?
Regards,
Randy.

I can imagine valid Clipper code which uses this behavior intentionally,
f.e. to drop new record data by simple disabling APPEND BLANK instruction
without interrupting the execution context so such modification
will break it.
If you need such functionality then you can make it yourself very
easy using USRRDD library and overloading PUTVALUE method, f.e.
see code below.
