LOL!!! That's what I get for saying that. I guess my brain was
outsourced for that comment.
I'm having a Monday morning memory lapse.
I have this memo field with text inside.
I need to add a time stamp and additional text and I do it thus:
With thisform.edit1
.enabled = .t.
replace curList.pv_mo with Replicate('*',100) + Chr(13) additive
replace curList.pv_mo with

I honestly never noticed the ADDITIVE clause in the REPLACE command.
Wow...learned something new today!
From VFP Help for those who hadn't noticed this either:

Appends to the end of the memo fields replacements to memo fields.
ADDITIVE applies to replacements in memo fields only. If
Hi Rafael:
You may want to avoid memo bloat:
replace curList.pv_mo with '';
+ Replicate('*',100) + Chr(13);
+ Ttoc(Datetime()) + Chr(13);
+ Replicate('*',100) + Chr(13);
+ '' additive
each REPLACE increases the .fpt size

Hi Thierry,

Still applies to bloat concern??

It may be additive, but it's still a 'replace' statement and will create a new
field in the .fpt.
My recommendation would be to extract the existing memo content into a string
memvar, then show the user that with the date/time stamp. If they choose to
add notes, when they're done do 1

Yes !
In fact, VFP doesn't manage 'not sequential segments' (or blocs). All the memo
content must be contiguous in the .fpt file. So when size increase, VFP must
'disable' the actual blocs
Yes, it does.
Try this and watch for yourself:
CREATE TABLE t_memo (memo m)
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE memo WITH REPLICATE('0',1024*1024) additive
* look at the FPT, should have 1 MB (earlier: 0 MB, now: 1 MB)
REPLACE memo WITH REPLICATE('0',1024*1024) additive

You really have made 4 replaces ADDITIVE, 1 MB each one, but you have a 15

worth a try.
Projects that have been running for a while use VSS integrated in the VFP

Yes, you can edit and merge the generated text and rebuild the binary.
I call it prg-style code because it is generated with the syntax of the prg
