Gerard,

Scatter memvar && retrieves all fields into memory variables
scatter fields f1, f2 && rerieves f1 and f2 into memvars f1, f2 and does not release the other memvars

however
scatter memo name obj && creates ONE object obj with all the fields as members
scatter fields f1, f2 memo name obj && redefines obj with two members and contents f1, f2

the only ways I see are

(1)
scatter memo name obj
...
obj.f1 = Table.f1
obj.f2 = table.f2

(2) continue using scatter memvar

(3)
scatter memo name obj
...
scatter memo name obj && ie reread the whole record
