Re: 2 Data Structures over same fields

>From your example I deduce that you're trying to name fields in one
datastructure the same as another.  This is not allowed unfortunately as
you have found.  I can only think of one reason to do what you're doing,
and that is you want to fill in the second datastructure from a
non-complete source with one command which will then fill in the
appropriate file fields.  My initial reaction is that pointers might do it,
but you'd have to define each of the second datastructure's fields with
basing pointers and I don't think that's allowed either.  If my assumptions
are correct, I would think the simplest would be to just code a subroutine
to move the values into the file fields.
