Deva,
Not a trace of bad behaviour with 4.5 or 5.0. I get exactly 100 sqm and I
tried different ways to build the "square". Would need more info to find the
potential cause.

No direct function. You have to get first the number of open tables by
NUMTABLES(), then if > 0, check if TABLEINFO(IT, table_info_name)="X" (IT =
a loop variable from 1 to NUMTABLES() )
