Load command and characters in field

Hi, I am trying quite unsuccessfully to load a file that was originally a Foxpro file into Informix. The problem is most of the Foxpro fields were memo fields with lots of carriage returns. It appears that Informix sees these carriage returns as a new record which is not the case. It is merely a new paragraph within the same field. I end up with an error message implying that the number of fields in the informix file do not equal the number of fields in the Foxpro file. It does, but since Informix reads the carriage returns as a new record instead of just recogizing the delimiter, it counts wrong. Following me? Does anyone know a way I can work around this problem without deleteing all the carriage returns within each field? Thanks in advance Bonnie weller@zorro.cecer.army.mil
