What occurs here is that an object is created with no exposed methods and one collection. Each item in the collection represents a field which can be referenced as oRecord.xxxxx where xxxxx is the same as the relative field name. When changes are to be saved you may "Gather name oRecord memo".

The exact syntax from the VFP help file is:

GATHER FROM ArrayName | MEMVAR | NAME ObjectName
[FIELDS FieldList | FIELDS LIKE Skeleton | FIELDS EXCEPT Skeleton]
[MEMO]



This technique does not require memory variables other than the object reference.
