The MTOS() function converts the memo field <memofield> to a character data type. This function is particularly useful for modifying fields globally. If the specified <memofield> is empty, the MTOS() function returns a null string ("").
Example
set memoformat off string = mtos(notes) string = string + chr(10) + "AT" + date() +" " + time() replace notes with string
