1. THE SYS(9148) FUNCTION:

     SYS(9148) - Enables or disables adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string

     Enables or disables adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string.

     SYS(9148 [, 0 | 1])

     Parameters
     0
     Disables adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string. 0 is the startup default for Visual FoxPro Advanced.
     1
     Enables adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string.

     Return Value
     Character

     Remarks
     STR() Function (from dv_foxhelp9.chm).

     Returns the character equivalent of a numeric expression.

     STR(nExpression [, nLength [, nDecimalPlaces]])

     If nExpression is an integer, and nLength is less than the number of digits in nExpression, STR() returns a string of asterisks, indicating numeric overflow.

     If we enable adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string in Visual FoxPro Advanced,
     and nLength is greater than or equal to 7,
     Visual FoxPro Advanced will adjust the length of the returned string of asterisks to nLength - 6,
     it is the same as Visual FoxPro 9.0 and earlier versions.
     If we disable adjusting the length of the returned string of asterisks when converting an integer to a string in Visual FoxPro Advanced,
     Visual FoxPro Advanced will not adjust the length of the returned string of asterisks.


2. CAUSE:

     There are some BUGs in the following code.


3. RESOLUTION:

     We can write some code to fix the BUG.
