FIX: _VFP.DataToClip() Truncates DateTime Data (299497)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In Visual FoxPro (VFP) 5.0 or 6.0, paste the following code in a new program:

   CLEAR
   LOCAL lcOldSetCentury
   lcOldSetCentury = SET("CENTURY")
   
   CREATE CURSOR TstCursor (fldDTime T)
   INSERT INTO TstCursor VALUES (DATETIME())
   
   _VFP.DATATOCLIP
   ? _CLIPTEXT
   
   SET CENTURY ON
   
   _VFP.DATATOCLIP
   ? _CLIPTEXT
   
   USE IN TstCursor
   SET CENTURY &lcOldSetCentury
   					

2. Save and run the program (the name is not important).

This program creates a new cursor with a DateTime field and stores DATETIME to that field. The value from that field is then stored to the clipboard using _VFP.DataToClip, and the contents of the clipboard are printed to _SCREEN. This is done twice: once with CENTURY off and once with CENTURY on.

In VFP 5.0 and 6.0 the DateTime values that are stored to the clipboard are truncated and are missing the "M" in the AM/PM portion of the text. As a result, this code prints incomplete strings to _SCREEN in those VFP versions.
