I'm trying Scatter, but I do not want to use the MemVar clause as it causes scoping problems. I tried Scatter with an array, but when I Insert Into the view the values are out of order and populate in the wrong places (due to the differences in the structures I think). I was hoping there was an option to use Scatter Name and then Insert Into from the obect, but the Insert line causes a syntax error on compiling. Other than explicitly stating the Values in the Insert Into statement, what can I do? Thanks!

That method takes steps, something like:
scatter name oRecord
insert into mytable (keyID) values (oRecord.keyID)
select mytable
seek oRecord.keyID
gather name oRecord
< UPDATE >
I tested using SCATTER ... MEMVAR, then NSERT ... FROM MEMVAR in an isolated function, but it stomps all over local and private variables, even if they are variables from a calling program.
