Eduardo, We always stressed that in xHarbour development Clipper *error* compatibility is dismissed, when conflicts with desired new functionality. xHarbour is NOT error compatible with Clipper. We have many features that would raise errors if attempted in Clipper. Unless there's a specific benefit we generally prefer to avoid Clipper restrictions, omissions, inconsistencies, etc.
