**NOMEMO(**//file//**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **NOMEMO** | Arms "memoless" record retrieval. |
| //file// | The label of a FILE. |

The **NOMEMO** statement arms "memoless" record retrieval for the next GET, REGET, NEXT, or PREVIOUS statement encountered. The following GET, REGET, NEXT, or PREVIOUS gets the record but does not get any associated MEMO or BLOB field(s) for the record. Generally, this speeds up access to the record when the contents of the MEMO or BLOB field(s) are not needed by the procedure.

**Example:**

**SET(Master)**

**LOOP**

** NOMEMO(Master)              !Arm "memoless" access**

** NEXT(Master)                !Get record without memo**

** IF ERRORCODE() THEN BREAK.**

** Queue = Mst:Record          !Fill memory queue**

** ADD(Queue)**

** IF ERRORCODE() THEN STOP(ERROR()).**

**END**

**DISPLAY(?ListBox)            !Display the queue**
