Yes, it's legal now. You have to be 13 or older and a citizen. Void where prohibited.

But it's as efficient as mowing with nail clippers and raking with a toothbrush.

select n1 from datafile into array nFoo

would fit the bill nicely.

update: and your code would also visit any deleted records and have them in the array, regardless of Set("Deleted"). GoTo ignores filters as well (but then so does SQL).
