The reason you are getting the semicolon is that the Memo is not
included in the Sentence Structure of this tag. Normally, only data
fields included in the Sentence Structure will appear in Narrative
reports. However, there is a special provision in the Report
Definitions to optionally include Memos even when they are not
included in the Sentence Structure. Under Options, on the Memos tab,
you have the choice if excluding such memos, have them in footnotes or
endnotes, or embedded in the text with or without parentheses.
Apparently you have this report set to "Embedded," which adds the memo
after a semicolon.

As Richard suggests, the solution is to add the [M] variable to the
sentence structure, either of the individual tag, or the tag type, in
which case it will apply to all tags of this type.
