Where is this data coming from? A mainframe of some type? A Unix Box?
Basically, what's happening is the sdf file doesn't have a CR/LF at the end fo the line, so Fox doesn't know where the line ends.

If you can't get the file down with a CR/LF, you'll have to open it with the low level functions and read it one line and a time and parse the incoming line for the individual fields. The most basic way would be:

fhandle = fopen('alunos') && opens the incoming data file
if fhandle < 0
wait window "Can't open file"
return
endif
do while !feof(fhandle)
mline = fget(fhandle,recordlength) && where recordlength is the length of 1 record
**parse out individual fields
enddo
