I'm attempting an OPNQRYF with two identical files in different libraries.
The record formats are identical, as are the field names.  I am joining the
files based on a couple fields.  I am telling the opnqryf to use one of the
record formats from one of the files.

The OPNQRYF command bombs because it wants the MAPFLD parameter specified.
Since the two files are identical, there are LOTS of duplicate file names.

Is there any way of getting around specifying a MAPFLD for each and every
field in the file?  First, that would be a pain in the ...neck... and
second, it's limited to 50 fields.

Any ideas?
