No, unless you create a cursor with one memo field and one record.
BTW Your string can be longer thn 254, don't know te maz length.
If you really need a memo field you can also create a global object that has a private data session (f.i. a toolbar, a form, session) and create in it the cursor with 1 record and 1 memo field, and talk to this object and let it handle your large string storage.
In this case you would have a variable able to store data like a memo field.

While a string constant (defined between quotes) can only be 256 characters, according to the VFP Help File (Index Topic - Visual FoxPro system capacities):
Maximum # of characters per character string or memory variable 16,777,184
Obviously to store this in a table, you'd need to use a Memo field.
