Export memo field from Foxpro Mac
I have a database in Foxpro Mac 2.5 containing two memo fields which I need to transfer to Filemaker Pro 9. I have not been able to find a way to do this. The file has nearly 800 records so I don't want to have to transfer it manually record by record.

My memo fields have over 254 characters (some have many pages) so only solution that applies is the low-level I/O one. When I type that in the command field I keep getting "Statement not allowed in interactive mode". I don't know what that means. So I have not been able to use that solution so far.
It means it works fine in a prg/program file.
Put the code in a prg file and run it.

I am working on it but having trouble with syntax for FCREATE.

Sorry to be such a klutz. Now getting message "variable numfield not found", also for memo1 and charfield. I think I am making every possible error.

Thanks so much. I have successfully converted a memo field to an ASCII comma delimited field and now am working on importing it into Filemaker Pro 9.
