Hi,
we have also converted stuff from FoxProW 2.x to Oracle and use varchar2 for FoxProW memo fields. Just create a string, being careful to check for the ' character which you will need chrtran to something else.
If you nedd more, send me an EMail, I can send you some of our code in FoxProW to generate the INSERT into TABLE for all Foxprow field types.
