untested

local laCursor, loE, lcP
select * from myCursor into array laCursor
loE = creatobject("empty")
lcP = "acopy_" + dtos(datetime())
= addproperty(loe, lcP)
= acopy(laCursor, loE.&lcP)

or

loE = creatobject("empty")
lcP = "acopy_" + dtos(datetime()) + "[2,2]" 
= addproperty(loe, lcP)
select * from myCursor into array  loE.&lcP

and store either the object in a collection or create a time based naming schema, check via amembers or perhaps use the ability to save a whole array into a memofield of a table or cursor, having a datetime field and another memo for search critereria, which is sometimes better for debugging and esp. if you have to persist the data.

>>Create an variable and assign it to an instance of an "empty" class. Now you can add properties to the object for each field. You could use AFIELDS to get an array of the fields and then add as a property to the object. Now you can save the values to the object; and in turn save the object to a collection.
