If the memo is a new field (ie: it's not used in any of those records), then 
the memo file will be 48K in size.  If you are filling a value into all 
1,310,859 records, then a lot of it depends on just how much you are putting 
into those memo fields.

I assume you mean a browse lookup into that file?  In that case, you can 
display the contents of the lookup, including a memo field, in processing. 
And you could trigger it with @BK="M" after the browse lookup.
