>Not a chance I can use scatter memvar-- too many possibilities of global memory variables of the same name-- the other programmer here was using that without my knowledge, and he had a time trying to figure it out. Why doesn't scatter give you a choice as to what fields are scattered, and to what memory variables? I've tried to do this numerous times with no success...


Use "scatter name oObjectName" to prevent variable name conflicts.

Use "scatter fields field1, field2, ..., fieldn" or "scatter fields like x* except xy*" to select a subset of fields.

There are many permutations, read the help.
