PRB: SET DATASESSION TO Fails From a Method of _Screen (191316)

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a program that contains the following code:

         CLEAR ALL
         PUBLIC yy,Y,zz
   
         * The target session we are trying to SET TO:
         Y = CREATEOBJECT("zform")
   
         * A separate custom object, which can set to that session:
         zz = CREATEOBJECT("myobj")
   
         * A form in another session, which can set to that session:
         yy = CREATEOBJECT("zform2")
   
         * A member of screen, which will show the problem:
         _SCREEN.ADDOBJECT("z","myobj")
   
         Y.SHOW()
         yy.SHOW()
   
         RETURN
   
         DEFINE CLASS myobj AS CUSTOM
   
            PROCEDURE SetToActiveSession
               WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT 1 ;
               "current ;
               session: "+STR(SET("datasession"))
               SET DATASESSION TO ;
               (_SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM.DATASESSIONID)
               WAIT WINDOW "session we want: "+;
               ALLTR(STR(_SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM.DATASESSIONID))+ ;
               ", "+ CHR(13)+ ;
               "session we got: "+ ;
               ALLTR(STR(SET("DATASESSION"))) TIMEOUT 3
            ENDPROC
   
         ENDDEFINE
   
         DEFINE CLASS zform AS FORM
            DATASESSION = 2
         ENDDEFINE
   
         DEFINE CLASS zform2 AS zform
            AUTOCENTER = .T.
            ADD OBJECT z AS COMMANDBUTTON WITH ;
            CAPTION="Push Me"
            PROCEDURE  z.CLICK
            WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT 1 "current session: "+STR(SET("datasession"))
            SET DATASESSION TO (Y.DATASESSIONID)
            WAIT WINDOW "session we want: "+ ;
            ALLTR(STR(Y.DATASESSIONID))+ ;
            ", "+CHR(13)+ ;
            "session we got: "+ ;
            ALLTR(STR(SET("DATASESSION"))) TIMEOUT 1
            ENDPROC
         ENDDEFINE
   						

2. Run the program and press the command button. Notice the data session starts out with a value of three (3) and changes to a value of two (2).
3. Change the data session from the Command window by typing the following command:

   zz.SetToActiveSession()

   Notice the data session starts with a value of one (1) and successfully changes to two (2).
4. Attempt to change the data session from the Command window using a method of the _SCREEN object by typing the following:

   _Screen.z.SetToActiveSession()

   Calling the _SCREEN object does not allow you to change the data session to a value of two (2). It remains a value of one (1).
