The data is put into the wrong field positions. On closer investigation I noticed that some of these fields in the text file have double quite in them eg 14" monitor.

This worked for me with this data sample:

CREATE CURSOR curTest (nID I, cField C(20), dField D, Amount N(12,2))
APPEND FROM test.txt DELIMITED WITH CHARACTER '|'

APPEND FROM test.txt DELIMITED WITH "" WITH CHARACTER |
