Thanks Edward, I found it, the problem was the next :
I had this environment
SELECT 0
USE table1
SET ORDER TO field1

SELECT 0
USE table2
SET RELATION TO field1 INTO table1

SCATTER MEMVAR
m.memory_var=table1.field2

in a point inside of the program I was issuing a SEEK on table1 and
then after the SEEK I was setting the order to 0 (zero), that
automatically reset the relationship between tables, so when I was
trying to say again :
m.memory_var=table1.field2, while my current area was table2, I had
the error DATA TYPE MISMATCH, it still doesn't make too much sense, but
that was all the problem.
Thanks a lot for trying to help.
