>Can someone tell me how to search through a memo field to find any occurrences of CHR(13) and then replace it with another value, say CHR(253)? I'm trying to export the contents of a DBF which contains memo fields to a fixed length SDF file. Since many of the records contain hard returns in the memo field, exporting to an SDF file actually creates multiple records after each hard return.

You can scan through records and
Replace memofield with chrtran(memofield,chr(13),chr(253))
