We have a large app, over 850 PRG files. And External Array just does not
work as advertised. I think that our app is too large, because External
Array will work on smaller simpler apps. I believe that our app is too large
and has too many functions (well over 1000 functions in over 850 PRG files,
not to mention over 200 class libraries) and that this somehow exceeds the
abilities of the External Array command. Note that EXTERNAL FILE works well.

This is nothing new, and is a limitation that has existed from the days of
FoxPro/DOS. I have maintained a large FPD app with over 100 PRG files, and I
had to use the PUBLIC <MyArray>[1] hack there also because we just couldn't
get External Array to work.
