I don't have this worked out yet, but is this kind of what you are 
thinking:
UPDATE ROB/FELKER 
SET 
 (case when current month= 1 then SAL01 = :MYVAR
       when current month= 2 then SAL02 = :MYVAR
       when current month= 3 then SAL03 = :MYVAR
  END)

SQL Update using Variable Field







Hi,
      I can't find anywhere where it says I can't do this, but I'm not 
sure
how to achieve it.  I have a file with a sales amount for each month
(SAL01,SAL02...SAL12). I want to use an SQL statement to zero the month in
all records before updating it. So, instead of UPDATE SALES SET SAL01 = 0,
I can replace SAL01 with the field for the appropriate month. Is this kind
of thing possible? I found where you can use variables for the order by
clause, but nothing like this.
