I'd report it, since 7.0 isn't supposed to introduce any unexpected 
behavior.

But I'm curious if it would work if you instead do this:

   put "absolutely anything" into char 1 to -1 of line linNum of card 
field "plan"

Just a guess. I know in some cases character properties are retained 
where line properties aren't; for instance, backcolor.
