I just figured out that if you have $SCHEMA$ keyword
on any menu's qualification, it behaves very
differently in ARS 7 (vs ARS 5, and perhaps ARS 6.x as
well). 

In older versions, $SCHEMA$ always expanded to the
name of the form where it is attached.  In 7.x it gets
two different values, depending on the context.

For example if a menu gets its values from MenuSource
form and is attached to forms Form1 and Form2 $SCHEMA$
in the menu's qualification always expanded to mean
Form1 or Form2, depending on which form are you at.

Not any more. In 7, when the menu is opened on any
form , say Form1, $MENU$ in the menu's qualification
still expands to "Form1" and you get the expected
values in the menu. 

However, if you have $MENU$ specified as the pattern
for the field (fields's Properties, Attributes tab)
save operation will most likely fail because $MENU$
expands to "MenuSource". 

It broke my old workflow, so I need to redesign my
menus to not have $SCHEMA$. Fun.

I have ARS 7.0.1 p1, AIX 5.2, Oracle 9.x. I tested
with windows client only.
