Brenda,

You can assign memofiled to a variable as any other data type. You can use ALINES() function to split it into lines and put them into array. There're other techniques to work with memo fields but you've provide more info about what kind of processing you want to do.

lcStr = mytable.mymemofiled
...
DIMENSION laLines[1]
ALINES(laLines, mytable.mymemofiled)
