Here's one to toss around -

When creating a display file for a file maintenance program, is it
better to reference the physical file fields or create fields with
different names? If you use different screen field names you have to
move the file fields into those fields to display on the screen and then
move the screen fields back into the file fields before updating the
record format. This seems like a lot of extra work. Is there any reason
to do it this way? 

TIA
