>>>I am using the tastrade newid function. I want to copy data from one table to another table. In the new table, I need to assign surrogated key to each record. I tried using both APPEND FROM ARRAY or INSERT FROM ARRAY and the newid didn't seem to work. Am I correct? I know I can use SCAN+INSERT but is there a better way?

Shihchau,
I never implied arrays would take a default value, how would they? And I don't quite get why you are dealing with arrays in this case.
