I agree, that if you involved in foxpro from another languages, it indeed is confusing. However, it is well documented in vfp help for /append from array/:

"........If the array is one-dimensional, APPEND FROM ARRAY adds one record to the table. The contents of the first array element fill the first field of the newly added record, the contents of the second element of the array fill the second field of the record, and so on.

If the one-dimensional array has more elements than the table has fields, the additional elements are ignored. If the table has more fields than the array has elements, the additional fields are initialized to the default empty value. Here are the default empty values for each field type:...."
