Paul, This is not possible in RPG but I believe it might be possible in Java. Also, if your field is in a file dynamic SQL allows you to create a statement to retrieve an arbitrary field from a table. Paul -- Paul Morgan Senior Programmer Analyst - Retail J.

Eg if in my imaginary function var contains the name of a field 'FRED' , and FRED contains 'ABC' , I would end up with 'ABC' in ws_work_zone
