Brian, Even though you've posted this to an RPG list have you considered a brute force solution using SQL? INSERT INTO ANOTHERTABLE SELECT RECORDTYPE, CODEA001, CODEB001 FROM PHYSICALFILE INSERT INTO ANOTHERTABLE SELECT RECORDTYPE, CODEA002, CODEB002 FROM PHYSICALFILE .... repeat the insert statement for all the other fields INSERT INTO ANOTHERTABLE SELECT RECORDTYPE, CODEA030, CODEB030 FROM PHYSICALFILE Simple and direct but not very efficient as you're reading through the physical file 30 times. You could do a brute force solution in RPG with one READ followed by 30 WRITEs. Why risk coding problems with nested loops or arrays when the brute force method will get the job done. KISS, Paul
