Rather than using SCATTER/GATHER MEMVAR, I've found it far better to use SCATTER/GATHER NAME, which creates an object:

SCATTER NAME oTemp MEMO
oTemp.cID = newID()
APPEND BLANK
GATHER NAME oTemp MEMO

If the table automatically assigns a default value on adding a new record, this should read:

SCATTER NAME oTemp MEMO
APPEND BLANK && default ID assigned on APPEND
oTemp.cID = cID
GATHER NAME oTemp MEMO
