Steve,
Honestly cursor way being the first thought for me too I wanted to make a note here. After creating the cursor you don't need to iterate through elements to append, append from array or insert into myCursor from array myArray works (provided that first you make it 2 dimensional with one column first) :
dimension myArray[alen(myArray,1),1]
create cursor temp (cElement c(20))
append from myArray
insert into temp from array myArray
