Re: Basing a field on an unreferenced field(s) doesn't work

Rob,

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but if I read your question
right, I believe that it doesn't matter if your file field is unreferenced.
the array IS referenced and it contains the data from the same memory
positions as the data from the input file.  does this make sense?   the
minute you "reference" one of the fields, the value will be there when
needed.

said in another way, All the data from the input file IS in memory and is
made available to the program - it just hasn't been mapped to that
particular field name (yet).    This of course is all conjecture on my
part.   but I do know that the code SHOULD work.
