Does the variable have no values in the same method where it is SCATTERed, or in some other method? I suggest you put a breakpoint just after you SCATTER, and then see if it has the expected values. Perhaps the values are lost later; in this case, do some debugging to check when exactly that happens.

>I'm having a problem with SCATTER, (it creates the memvars, but doesn't populate them when I issue the command in the INIT of a form). The form is an update for a CONFIG table. The table is opened when the main program is started and remains open until the application is closed. In the INIT of the form I issue the "SCATTER MEMVAR" command. The debugger shows that the memvars are created, but empty. I tested with a small program to open the table, issue the "SCATTER MEMVAR", and it works fine.
