Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. From Visual FoxPro, create a program containing the following code:
    *Start of Code
    Child1 = CREATEOBJECT("SessionChild1")
    ? Child1.DATASESSION
    
    Child2 = CREATEOBJECT("SessionChild2")
    ? Child2.DATASESSION
    
    DEFINE CLASS SessionChild1 AS SESSION
    	DATASESSION = 1
    ENDDEFINE
    
    DEFINE CLASS SessionChild2 AS SESSION
    	DATASESSION = 2
    ENDDEFINE
    *End of Code
    					
  2. Run the program created in step 1 above. The value for the DATASESSION property is 2 for both classes. It should display 1 for Child1 and 2 for Child2.
