Hi Everyone:

I have to fix a program the never updated its data because the field names
in both files were the same. Ok, you say no big deal,  save fields, read
file , move fields back update file. There are 256 fields in the file. I do
not wants to have all those moves.  Is there a way I can have one move
without internally  describing the file?  The original code is below: (Not
written by me) . I will appreciate any suggestions.  I am brian dead today
after fixing many bugs in different systems.

Thanks,

Wanda
