2. Run following code and click on VFP desktop.

LOCAL ARRAY aSearch[1]
>aSearch = ""
>CREATE CURSOR myCursor (sMemo M)
>APPEND BLANK	&& this is not necessary
>=ASCAN(aSearch,sMemo,1,0,0,1)	
>

It's erratic. The first time I ran the code, one loop, there was no error. Added a loop (20 times) and it crashed. Added a printout to screen of the counter to see when it crashes, no crash until I closed VFP.
