PRB: ADIR() in FoxPro for Macintosh Doesn't Return "." or ".." (110527)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6a
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b

This article was previously published under Q110527

SYMPTOMS

The ADIR() function does not return "." and ".." when the D option is specified.

CAUSE

The Macintosh file system does not support current folder notation (.) and subfolder notation (..); therefore, they are not returned when this function is executed.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In the Command window, type the following:

   =ADIR( myarray, "*.*", "D" )
   ? myarray(1, 1)

In FoxPro for Windows or FoxPro for DOS, "." will be returned. In FoxPro for Macintosh, the first file or folder encountered will be returned.
