An array property of a FILE that sets or returns the specified MEMO or BLOB field's data. MEMO and BLOB controls are negatively numbered, therefore the array element number must be a negative value. MEMO and BLOB declarations begin with -1 and decrement by 1 for each subsequent MEMO and BLOB, in the order in which they appear within the FILE structure.

**Example:**

**MemoText STRING(2000)**

**Customer FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),PRE(CUS)**

**Notes    MEMO(2000)**

**Record   RECORD**

**Name     STRING(20)**

**     . .**

** CODE**

** OPEN(Customer)**

** SET(Customer)**

** NEXT(Customer)**

** ASSERT(~ERRORCODE())**

** Memotext = Customer{****PROP:Text****,-1}**
