Howard,

You need to start from the field on the left side.

In other words, try:

SELECT PAGERNAME, PAGERTYPE, PAGERATTN, PAGERSTAT, PAGERSTATD,
             PAGERFWDNU, PAGERFWDNA, PAGERGROUP, PAGERIVR, ATTNUSRDEF
             FROM openDir
             INTO ARRAY dirArrayLocal  WHERE UPPER(PAGERNAME) = "MY KEY"

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
