FIX: Copy To ... Type SDF Causes Error Message in Visual FoxPro

   IF FILE("test1.txt")=.t.
      DELETE FILE test1.txt
   ENDIF
				

MORE INFORMATION

The error message occurs only when zero (0) is the first character in the SDF file. However, if the resulting SDF file is smaller than 8000 bytes, the error does not occur even if the zero character is in the SDF file. Finally, choosing any other file format or placing any other character in the SDF file prevents the error.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a program that contains the following code and execute it:

   CLEAR
   CREATE TABLE test1.dbf FREE (f C(100))
   FOR i = 1 TO 80
      INSERT INTO test1 VALUES ("0")
   NEXT
   COPY TO test1.txt TYPE SDF
   COPY TO test1.txt TYPE SDFF
				

The error appears on the second COPY TO command.
