Well if you prompt the select in STRSQL

You can easily prompt the field selection, then it's just a matter of
putting a 1 in 300 fields...bingo you have your fields :) Or copy the
names from the 5250 screen to a text editor...

If you happen to have SQuirreL SQL Client, I think you could drag and
drop the field names...

There's only about 300 field names in the files!
But Aaron has given me an idea :
create table temp as select client n etc
update temp set client x etc

then insert

have to specify the other columns on the select

insert into myfile
select 'x', fld2, fld3,fld4, <...>
from myotherfile

Hi,
I need to do this on a bunch of files :

insert into myfile
select *from myotherfile where clientnumber = 'n'

problem is, I want to set the clientnumber that is written to myfile to 'x'.

Possible?
