A slightly different tack on that is to just use the %SST and move
the variable to replace the XXXXXX..... You can then just forget all
that *cat *bcat etc,etc..... This method will work with numeric or
alpha fields....

Somthing like this:

chgvar var(%sst(&qryslt 13 6)) value(&VAR)
chgvar var(%sst(&qryslt 38 6)) value(&var2)
etc,etc
