Hi Alex,

Try

DEFINE CLASS myclass as custom 
   PROCEDURE Init
   USE mytable 
   SCATTER NAME This ADDITIVE 
ENDDEFINE

>Is it in some way possible to use SCATTER NAME ADDITIVE in a method of an object to add properties to this very object?
>
>What I actually want is an object that has some certain properties and loads the rest from a dbf in its INIT - method.
>
>Sure, there are other possibilities, but with SCATTER NAME ADDITIVE it would be the most elegant one... Are there any known tricks?
