This is an extract of a program I am working on:

Type a
	Field z%
End Type
Type b Extends a
	Field z% = 2
End Type
Type c Extends a
	Field z% = 3
End Type
Local me:a = New c
Print me.z

I am trying to display the field z% with the value of 3 but I get 0. I am assuming it accessing the field z in the a type. can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong. Or is this a compiler bug?
