Thanks for your reply Carel.My example didn't clearly indicate it but my output file does not containall 999 fields today but just the possibility of containing up to 999fields.Today, my file contains 8 fields, INV001-INV005, INV020, INV030 and INV035.Tomorrow, it may have more.TIA.Carel Teijgeler writes:

Glenn,Use an array. Strip the last three digits of the field name and use that as the index of the array.

I hope my example below is clear.I have one file with many records for a given part, each containing just onevalue. I want to update another file to hold all the values for one part on one record.E.g.
Input File: 3 fields: key + field name + value
-----------------------------------------------
PARTA  INV001   30
PARTA  INV003   40
PARTA INV007 50
I want the output file to look as follows: key + values
--------------------------------------------------------
PARTA 30 <blank> 40 <blank> <blank> <blank> 50
There are a possibility of 999 different fields so I don't want to code a  
complicated SELECT.
