This works

create cursor curTest (cKey c(4) nocptrans, iKey i)
insert into curTest values (BinToC(1),1)
ALTER TABLE curTest ALTER COLUMN cKey M NOCPTRANS
lcXml=''
CursorToXML('curTest','lcXml',1,0,0,'1')
XMLToCursor(lcXml,'curTest1')
ALTER TABLE curTest1 ALTER COLUMN cKey C(4) NOCPTRANS
? curTest1.cKey, CToBin(curTest1.cKey), curTest1.iKey
