Ok,
I've searched the archives but can't find (or don't know what I'm looking 
for) any examples of an UPDATE statement using field names that I want to 
build.  I know how to do it using a plain SELECT statement and creating a 
literal statement and then running it.  But what I'm trying to do this 
time is something like:
     C/Exec Sql
     C+ UPDATE PUBWRK/WPUSCHEDLE 
     C+ SET %Trim(ctrName) = %Char(retField), 
     C+ %Trim(appName) = %Char(retField)
     C+ WHERE %Trim(dateName) = %Char(inPickupDate)
     C/End-Exec 

but I don't think I'm doing this right at all am I?
Frustrated beyond all belief today...
